Line your 9x9-inch pan with parchment paper to make removing the squares easier later on.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, chopped nuts, and dried fruit. Stir everything together so the ingredients are evenly distributed.
In a small saucepan over low heat, gently warm the honey and nut butter, stirring until smooth and just combined. Let the mixture bubble gently and smell that toasty aroma.
Pour the warm honey-nut mixture over the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to fold everything together, making sure all the oats and nuts are coated and sticky.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan. Press down firmly with the spatula or your hands to create an even, compact layer. You should hear a slight crackle as you press.
Refrigerate the pan uncovered for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm and set. For quicker results, pop it in the freezer for about 1 hour.
Once set, lift out the block using the parchment paper. Use a sharp knife to cut into squares or bars, pressing down firmly to get clean edges.
Serve immediately or store the squares in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. They stay chewy, with a pleasant nutty aroma and just the right amount of sweetness.
