Cocoa-nut No-Bake Granola Bars

Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with waxed paper so that the paper hangs over the edges of dish.

Combine dates and water in a food processor or blender; process until a paste forms, adding more water if needed to thin it.

Press into prepared baking dish. Cover with another piece of waxed paper and press down using a can or mini roller. Freeze for 1 hour.

Remove dish from freezer and lift out of dish using the edges of the waxed paper. Cut into 25 squares.
