In a food processor, combine the dates, coconut, cashews, cocoa, coconut oil, and salt. Pulse a few times to chop the ingredients and then process on high speed for 1 to 2 minutes, stopping once or tice to scrape down the sides of the bowl and underneath the blade. Process until ingredients clump together.
Line an 8 x 8-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Add the mixture and use your hands to spread out. Use a metal spatula to firmly press into an even layer filling the bottom of the dish. Chill for 30 minutes in the fridge and then slice into 16 bars(a pizza cutter works great).
