Cut the dates as small as possible
Place the chopped dates, almond butter, cocoa powder, and salt in a blender
Add the melted chocolate and blend until a mass forms
While blending, push the mixture down repeatedly
Blend until the desired consistency is reached; a few date pieces may remain
Transfer the brownie mixture to the pan, spread evenly and press down
Place the pan in the freezer for 15 minutes (or in the refrigerator for 1 hour)
