Add all ingredients except chocolate chips to a food processor.
Mix on high speed until everything is fully incorporated. The mixture should resemble cookie dough texture. If it's too crumbly add a teaspoon of water until you got a nice sticky texture.
Add in chocolate chips and give one last mix. Just pulse for few times.
Scoop the mixture into the prepared pan.
Press the mixture with a spatula until nice and flat.
Put it in the freezer for 30 minutes to firm.
Take the pan out of the freezer. Gently lift the mixture out of the pan. Slice into 6 bars.
