Add dates and almonds in a food processor. Process until chunky. Next add in peanut butter, desiccated coconut, cocoa powder, cocoa nibs, and vanilla extract. Process again until mixture is clumping. Then add the quinoa flakes and hemp seeds, pulse to combine.
Add mixture into a pre-divided 12 rectangle silicone mold, pressing each rectangle evenly and firmly in order for the bars not to get undone while unmolding. Place the silicone pan on a platter and put in the freezer
While bars are in the freezer, melt the chocolate and the coconut oil in a bain-marie
Once melted, pour chocolate over the bars and return to the freezer for 15 minutes for chocolate to set
