  2. Add dates, cocoa powder, chia seeds, hemp seeds, shredded coconut, almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the food processor.
  3. Process until the mixture is well combined and forms a sticky dough. Add water if too dry.
  4. Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  5. Press the mixture firmly into the prepared pan, ensuring it's evenly distributed.

  8. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Notes

For a richer flavor, toast the walnuts and almonds before processing.
