Step 1
Start by placing the dates in a bowl and pouring in enough hot water to cover them completely. Let them soak for about 10 minutes until they’re nice and soft, then drain them well. While the dates are soaking, line a baking pan with parchment paper to get it ready.

Next, toss the almonds, pecans, cocoa powder, and chia seeds into a food processor and pulse until everything is finely chopped and combined. Add the drained dates along with a pinch of salt, then process again until the mixture comes together into a smooth, sticky dough. Press this mixture evenly into your prepared pan.
