Ingredients

• 15 pieces Medjool dates
• 1/2 cup cashew butter
• 1/4 cup chopped pecans
• 1/4 cup shredded coconut

• 1 cup dark chocolate
• 1 pinch flaky sea salt

Method

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Arrange the pitted Medjool dates on the parchment paper, overlapping them slightly, and press them down firmly with your fingers to form a single flat, cohesive layer.
3. Spread the cashew butter evenly over the smashed dates using the back of a spoon.
4. Sprinkle the chopped pecans, shredded coconut, and cacao nibs evenly over the cashew butter layer.
5. Evenly dust the top with ground cinnamon.
6. Pour the melted dark chocolate over the toppings and spread it into an even layer using a spatula or spoon.
7. Sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt over the melted chocolate.
8. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 1 to 2 hours, or until the chocolate is completely set and firm.
9. Slice the chilled bark into squares or bars and serve immediately. Store any leftovers in the freezer.
