  2. Add the dates, cacao powder, pumpkin pie spice and salt.
  3. Process until it is sticky with medium texture.

  3. Pour into prepared pan.
  4. Refrigerate for 4-5 hours before serving.
  5. To garnish, dust with cacao powder sprinkled through a very fine strainer. Sprinkle with salt if using.
