Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Soak dates in ¼-½ c of boiling water, making sure they are completely covered in water. Let soak for a minimum of 15 minutes to soften.
Prepare the bread pan by lining the bottom with parchment paper and an additional strip of parchment paper that is approximately 2” wide and 4” wider than your pan. This will be used to lift the bars out of the pan. See above for example photo.
Melt coconut oil for both the crust and the fudge.
Mix all ingredients for the crust in a bowl until a crumbly textured dough forms. It will be loose but should stick together when pressed.
Press this dough into the bread pan evenly and bake for 10-15 minutes until the edges are golden brown. The center will still be soft but it will harden as it cools.
While the crust is baking, add all fudge ingredients (including the water the dates were soaking in) to a high speed blender or food processor and blend until creamy and fluffy, but still pourable. Keep in fridge until ready to use.
Take the crust out of the oven and top with marshmallows. Turn the oven to high broil.
Put the crust and marshmallows back into the oven for 5-10 minutes until marshmallows are golden brown.
Top the marshmallows with the fudge and smooth out with a non-stick spatula or back of a spoon that’s been wetted down to keep the fudge from sticking.
Leave the bars in the freezer for 1 hour or the fridge for 4 hours to set.
Remove from the freezer/fridge and lift out using the parchment paper saddle, cut into square bars, and Enjoy! Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 1 week or the freezer for up to 3 months.
