Line Medjool dates into a loaf pan, then lay parchment paper over them and smash down with the bottom of a glass until flattened.
Mix creamy peanut butter and cornflakes together. If peanut butter is too thick, microwave for a few seconds to loosen it. Spread the mixture on top of the smashed dates.
Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in the microwave, stirring well until smooth. Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the dates and peanut butter layer.
Sprinkle the top with a few pinches of sea salt.
Chill the loaf pan in the refrigerator for 1.5–2 hours until the mixture is firm.
Slice into bars and enjoy.

How do I store these bars?
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Can I make these bars nut-free?
You can substitute the peanut butter with a seed butter like sunflower seed butter to make them nut-free.
Can I use a different type of oil instead of coconut oil?
Yes, you can use a neutral oil like vegetable oil or omit the oil entirely when melting the chocolate.
Do I need to use Medjool dates specifically?
Medjool dates are preferred for their soft texture and sweetness, but you can use other types of dates if needed.
