COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

In the bowl of a large food processor, add coconut and pulse until it turns into a fine crumb. Add dates and blend 1 minute more. Add peanut butter, honey, and salt. Pulse until mixture forms into a dough.

Using a rolling pin, roll dough between two pieces of parchment paper until it is 1/2-inch thick. Refrigerate 1 hour.
