These delicious squares are easy to make and sure to be a hit at your holiday party!

## Ingredients:

- 2 cups raw walnuts
- 1 cup raw white sesame seeds
- 1 cup dried cherries
- 1/2 tsp. coarse sea salt
- 4 tbsp coconut oil
- 3 tbsp honey

## Directions:

- Preheat oven to 325°.
- Spread walnut pieces on a baking sheet and toast in oven until walnuts just start to turn golden brown and smell slightly fragrant, about 15 minutes.
- Toast sesame seeds on a separate baking sheet for about 10 minutes (watch so seeds do not burn).
- Blend walnuts and cherries in a food processor or blender coarsely chopped.
- Add sesame seeds, salt, coconut oil, honey. Mix until well combined (the mixture should easily stay together when squeezed).
- Press into a baking sheet or pyrex dish, forming a layer approximately 1/2 inch thick. Refrigerate until completely cool, about 1 hour. Cut into squares and serve.
