Preparation

1

Prepare the Dates

Remove the pits from the dates and chop them into small pieces.

Combine Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped dates, processed almonds, peanut butter, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt.

4

Mix Thoroughly

Mix all the ingredients together until they form a sticky, cohesive mixture. You may need to use your hands to ensure everything is well combined.

Assembling the Jar

Layering

Begin layering the mixture into a clean jar. Start with a layer of the date mixture, followed by a layer of coconut flakes. Repeat this process until the jar is filled.
