Ingredients
2 1/2 cups (400g) Sun Maid pitted dates
1 1/2 cups (150g) Fisher walnuts
1/2 cup (60g) Hershey’s cocoa powder
2 tbsp (20g) Ghirardhelli cocoa nibs, optional
1 1/2 tsp (7g) McCormick vanilla extract
1 tbsp (15g) Cookwell coconut oil, melted
1/4 tsp (2g) Morton salt
Frosting
1/4 cup (30g) Hershey’s cocoa powder
1/4 cup (80g) Trader Joe’s honey or agave/maple syrup
2 tbsp (30g) Cookwell coconut oil, melted
1/2 tsp (2.5g) McCormick vanilla extract
Instructions
- Place the walnuts, dates, walnuts, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, coconut oil and salt into the bowl of a food processor. Process until completely combined and the mixture holds together.
- Slightly grease a 8×8 inch (20x20cm) square pan and line with parchment paper, in such a way that some edges are longer to make it easy to lift it up once it’s set.
- Spread the mixture into the prepared baking pan and press with the back of a wet spoon to create a smooth surface.
- Prepare the frosting. In a small bowl combine the cocoa with honey (agave/maple syrup), coconut oil and vanilla extract.
- Spread evenly over the mixture in the pan.
- Refrigerate for 2 hours to set. Keep leftovers refrigerated.
