Soak raw cashews in a jar with warm water (enough to fully cover the cashews) and a pinch of salt overnight. Drain and rinse a couple of times. Then add cashews to a food processor.
Add pitted Medjool dates to the food processor. Blend well to combine (no chunk of dates left).
Add 1/2 cup peanut butter and a pinch of salt. Pulse everything until smooth and doughy.
If the texutre is too wet, add coconut flour. Blend again until you have a sticky and gooey but not super wet and hard-to-form-dough.
Scrape the wall of the food processor a few times to make sure all the ingredients are blended well (Repeat step 4 and 5 if adding more coconut flour)
Press the peanut butter fudge base in a parchment paper-lined 8x8 loaf pan. Place it in the fridge to set.
In a small bowl, melt chocolate and the rest of the peanut butter, stir until smooth. Pour the chocolate mixture over the peanut butter layer. Sprinikle some sea salt or crushed peanuts.

* You can use your favorite chocolate bars (about 2 bars) or chocolate chips.
** If the mixture appears to be too wet, add additional coconut flour 1 tbsp at a time.
** For high protein option, use vegan pea protein powder instead of coconut flour. I like nuzest clean lean protein vanilla flavor. (1:1 subtitution).
Storage: Best stored in the freezer.
