Serves: 16
Ingredients
  • 8oz Medjool dates, pitted (about 10 dates)
  • ½ cup almond butter
  • ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts, divided
  • ½ cup mini marshmallows
Instructions
  1. Line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on either side.
  2. Place pitted dates in a medium bowl. Cover the dates with 2 cups of hot water. Set aside until the dates are softened, about 10 minutes. Drain the dates, reserving 2 tablespoons of the liquid.
  3. In a food processor, combine dates, reserved liquid, almond butter, cocoa powder, and salt. Process until smooth and no flecks of date remain, about 2 minutes. Add ¼ cup of chopped walnuts and pulse a few times to combine.
  4. Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan and use your fingers to press the mixture into an even layer. Then, using a flat surface like the bottom of a glass or an offset spatula, press down until the mixture is firmly packed. Sprinkle the remaining walnuts and marshmallows on top and press down gently so they adhere to the mix.
  5. Freeze until set, at least 2 hours. To slice, warm a knife under hot water and dry fully to ensure all water is removed. Cut into 16 squares. Serve cold. These bars can be tightly wrapped and stored in the freezer for up to a month. They’ll stay fresh in the refrigerator for one week.
