Chop walnuts in a food processor until finely chopped, or use a knife to chop them by hand.

Add chopped walnuts to a bowl, leaving behind the crumbly bits.

In the food processor, combine 2 cups of walnuts and 2 cups of dates.

Add 1 cup of chocolate powder, 1 teaspoon of vanilla, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon to the processor.

Process the mixture until it starts to form a ball, being careful not to over-process to avoid greasiness.

If needed, add 1 teaspoon of water to achieve a smoother consistency.

Remove the blade from the processor and transfer the mixture to a bowl.

Press the mixture into a 9x9 inch square pan, smoothing it out evenly.
