1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 to 2 tablespoons water
Optional toppings: flaky sea salt, dried cranberries, chopped nuts, or melted vegan chocolate drizzle

2. In a food processor, pulse walnuts and almonds until crumbly.
3. Add cocoa powder and sea salt. Pulse again to combine.
4. Add the softened dates and vanilla extract. Blend until sticky and well mixed.

6. Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper. Press mixture firmly into the pan.
7. Add optional toppings and press them gently into the surface.
8. Refrigerate for 1 hour or freeze for 30 minutes to set.

Press the mixture firmly into the pan to ensure they hold shape.
Customize with toppings like nuts, dried fruits, or a vegan chocolate drizzle.
