Instructions
- In a 12-cup food processor fitted with an S-blade, combine the walnuts, pitted dates, coconut oil, and salt. Secure the lid and process until the dates have broken down and the mixture sticks together when pressed between your fingers. Reserve ¾ cup of this crumble mixture for the topping.
- Lightly spray an 8-inch square pan with oil then press a piece of parchment paper into the bottom. This will make the bars easier to remove later. Transfer the rest of the crumble mixture to the prepared pan and flatten it evenly to create a crust.
- In a medium bowl, prepare the chocolate filling. Add the cacao powder, maple syrup, and coconut oil, then use a whisk to stir well. The filling may thicken up if your kitchen is cold, but that's okay! Transfer it to the pan and spread it evenly over the crust.
- Sprinkle the reserved crumble topping over the chocolate layer. Use your hands to press it into the chocolate gently, then place the pan in the freezer. Let the bars chill for 1 hour. Once they're firm, use the parchment paper to remove the bars and slice them into 16 squares. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
