• Line a 8×8 or 9×9 square pan with wax or paper.
• Place dates, apricots, chia seeds and cinnamon in a food processor, and process until the mixture forms a large mass.
• Break up slightly with a spatula, add pepitas to the mixture in the food processor, and pulse until there are small chunks of pepitas.
• Break up the mixture one more time, add dark chocolate chips and pulse a few times to slightly break and distribute the chips.
• Press the mixture into the prepared pan. You can cover the top with more paper and press an equal sized pan to roll the top with a glass to flatten completely.
• Refrigerate for 30-45 minutes, then slice into bars or squares.
