2. Blend until a sticky mixture forms.

2. Prepare the filling:

1. Drain the soaked dates and place them in a blender.
2. Add the peanut butter and protein powder.
3. Blend until smooth and creamy.
4. Spread the filling evenly over the base and smooth the surface.

3. Set the bars:

1. Place the mold in the fridge for at least 1 hour to firm up.

4. Add the topping:

1. Melt the dark chocolate and pour over each bar.
2. Let sit for 10 minutes until the chocolate sets before serving.
