Soaking the Dates

First wash the dates and remove the seeds. 

1.  Roast the dates in a large bowl and add hot water, just enough to submerge the dates.  Soak for 15 minutes.

Lightly roast the dry fruits

Roast the mixed nuts in a dry pan on medium flame for 2-3 minutes.  Their flavor comes out of this, and they crush easily. Cool and grind coarsely in a mixer.

Make a date paste

Mix all the ingredients

Take date paste and crushed nuts in a bowl  Now add a teaspoon of honey (if desired).  Mix well with hands.  The mixture should be such that it comes into shape when pressed with a hand.

If the mixture looks loose, add some more nuts.  If it is too dry, you can add a little honey or 1 teaspoon of water.

Set in the mold

Now pour the prepared mixture into a tray or mold and spread it by pressing it well.  Smoothen the top.  Don’t have a mold?  No problem.  You can make it in any shape by hand – like square, balls or rectangle bars.

Melt the chocolate

Now it’s the turn of chocolate.  Follow the double boiler method – boil water in a pan and place a bowl over it and add dark chocolate to it.  Stir slowly until the chocolate becomes smooth and glossy.
