Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Medjool dates (pitted)
• 1 cup Raw almonds
• 0.5 cup Raw cashews
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
• 1 tablespoon Water (optional, as needed)

Directions

Step 1

Add the pitted Medjool dates to a food processor and pulse a few times until they form a sticky paste. If the dates seem a bit dry, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes beforehand, then drain well.

Step 2

Add the almonds, cashews, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the food processor with the dates.

Step 3

Pulse the mixture in short bursts until the nuts are finely chopped and the ingredients come together into a coarse, sticky dough. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Step 4

If the mixture is too dry to hold together when pressed, add water one teaspoon at a time and pulse again until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 5

Line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper or plastic wrap. Transfer the mixture to the dish and press it firmly and evenly into the bottom.

Step 6

Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or until firm.

Step 7

Lift the chilled mixture out of the dish using the parchment paper or plastic wrap. Cut into 8 equal-sized bars or other desired shapes.

Step 8

Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or freeze them for longer storage.
