Note
The original recipe text mentioned ingredients like maple syrup, coconut oil, cocoa powder, and tahini which are not listed in the ingredient list. This recipe has been cleaned up to reflect only the listed ingredients (macadamias, dates, macadamia oil). If you wish to use the tahini/chocolate variation, you would need to add those specific ingredients.
Ensure dates are pitted and soft. If dates are dry, soak them in hot water for 10 minutes, drain well, and then process.
For a smoother crust, toast the macadamias lightly before processing to enhance their flavor.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator covered for up to 3 days.
