Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a food processor, combine the almonds and cashews and pulse until you have a coarse crumb consistency.
Add the pitted dates, cocoa powder, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt to the food processor.
Blend until the mixture is well combined and sticky. You may need to scrape down the sides occasionally.
Once the mixture holds together when pressed between your fingers, transfer it to the prepared baking dish.
Evenly press the mixture into the dish using your hands or the back of a spoon, smoothing out the top.
Sprinkle the shredded coconut evenly over the surface and gently press it into the mixture.
If using, melt the dark vegan chocolate in the microwave or over a double boiler and drizzle it over the top of the slice.
Place the baking dish in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until firm and set.
Once set, lift the slice out of the dish using the parchment paper overhang and transfer it to a cutting board.
Cut into 16 even squares or slices using a sharp knife.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
