Add the nuts into a food process and pulse until finely chopped.

Add in the dates, breaking up (or chopping up roughly) as you go. It will blend easier. Pulse until combined. 

Add in the shredded coconut and water and continue to pulse until the mixture comes together and you can easily make a ball that sticks together in your hands.

Line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper and work the mixture in to an even layer in the pan. Let it set for about 4 hours and cut into bars! *You can also roll this mixture into balls if you prefer.
