Ingredients:
250g walnuts
1 vanilla bean, seeds scraped (or 1/2 tsp alcohol free vanilla extract)
1 cup raw cacao powder 
1/8 tsp sea salt
250g pitted soft dates (such as Medjool)
1 Tbs or to taste raw honey (or vegan: maple syrup)

Method:
Place walnuts and vanilla in a food processor and blend until the nuts are finely ground. Add cacao and sea salt and process until everything is evenly combined. With the motor running, drop dates one by one through the feed tube until the mixture comes together. The mixture will be fluffy but should hold together when pressed. Taste and see if you need to add any honey/maple syrup, and then pulse until everything is well mixed. 

Transfer the mixture into an 20x20 cm pan, and press down lightly. Refrigerate for at least half an hour before cutting. Store in the fridge to preserve. You can eat these cold, or allow them to come to room temperature.
