    ⚙ Grinding in a Food ProcessorFood processor
    💡In a food processor, grind in short pulses and check between pulses: it's easy to go from coarse to paste. (Sesame for tahini, on the other hand, is ground continuously.)
  3. 3
    Add the melted chocolate and the cinnamon to the dates and mix.
  4. 4
    Arrange half of the biscuits in a layer on the bottom of a square dish and spread half of the date mixture over them.
