No-bake brownies

“Most of the no-bake brownies I've eaten before were either too sticky because of too many dates or too dry because of too much cocoa powder. The ratio of nuts, cocoa powder, and dried fruit in this recipe results in a wonderfully soft, yet firm brownie. Salt enhances the flavors of each ingredient, popped amaranth adds a light crunch, and the melted chocolate turns the glaze into a silken brownie blanket!”
