Prepare an 8×8 or 9×9-inch pan by lining it with wax or parchment paper.
In a food processor, combine Medjool dates, dried apricots, chia seeds, and cinnamon. Pulse until a cohesive mass forms.
Add raw pumpkin seeds and pulse again until small chunks remain.
Mix in white chocolate chips and pulse briefly until distributed.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and press it down firmly and evenly.
Refrigerate for 30-45 minutes until the mixture is firm.
Slice the chilled mixture into bars or squares and store in an airtight container.

Ensure Medjool dates are soft for easier processing; soak them in warm water if needed.
Customize by substituting dried fruits or seeds according to your preference.
Press the mixture firmly into the pan to ensure the bars hold together.
Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer for freshness.
