Line a small square dish with parchment paper or use a silicone mould. You can also use mini muffin tins.

Add coconut oil, cocoa powder, dates and spices into a blender. Blend for 30-60 seconds until you have a smooth mixture.

Check the sweetness and taste and add some maple syrup and/or spices if needed.

Pour the mixture into the prepared dish or mould and sprinkle the nuts or shredded coconut on top. Refrigerate until solid (it should take about 1 to 2 hours). Cut it into pieces and serve chilled or wrap the pieces in parchment paper and store in the refrigerator.
