Notes
- If using Deglet Noor dates, soak them in hot water for 10 minutes and drain them thoroughly before adding them to the food processor.
- If your Medjool dates feel unusually firm or dry, you can soak them as well.
- Press the dough firmly into the pan so the bites hold together when cut.
- Store the brownie bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
