30 pitted dates
1/2 cup chopped unsalted raw walnuts
1/4 cup chopped unsalted raw almonds
1/4 cup dried unsweetened coconut
4 tbsp cocoa powder, divided
1. Add add the ingredients, reserving 1 tbsp of the cocoa powder, to the bowl of a food processor fitted with a blade and pulse. When the mixture breaks down a little bit, turn on the machine to run until the mixture sticks together when you press it with your fingers.
2. Line a loaf pan with plastic wrap. Add the nut mixture to the pan, using the overhanging wrap to help you press the mixture into a smooth layer. Cover completely with plastic wrap and let sit in the refrigerator until firm, at least 1 hour.
3. Cut into 8 bars and with a pastry brush, dust all sides of each bar with the reserved cocoa powder. Wrap each in plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator.
