- 1 cup peanuts, unsalted
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
2. For the Chocolate Topping:

Instructions:
- Prepare the Base:
- In a food processor, blend the soaked dates, peanuts, and sea salt together until it forms a sticky mixture.

- Pour the chocolate over the peanut butter layer in the dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Sprinkle the pinch of sea salt over the chocolate layer.
4. Set and Serve:
- Place the dish back in the freezer for about 30 minutes, or until everything is solid.
