Preparation

Blend the cashew nuts in a powerful blender and then add the cocoa and rock salt.
While the mixer is running, add the dates one by one. Adding too many dates at once may overload the mixer.
The result is a crumbly, barely sticky mixture.
Put the mixture into a large bowl and knead it into a firm ball until it becomes shiny.
Roll out the mixture on baking paper with a pastry roller to a thickness of 0.5 cm and cut into handy pieces.
Optionally, the energy bars can be lightly dried on both sides in the oven at 45 °C (circulating air) for about 15 minutes.

Because there's no water in these date and nut energy bars, they'll keep for ages without needing to be chilled, as long as you keep them in a sealed jar.
