Blend all your base ingredients together until smooth, then tamp down flat in a parchment-lined loaf pan.
Soften your date paste via 30–120 seconds in the microwave, stopping every thirty seconds and being careful not to burn it!
Blend or mix your 1 cup of pecans and 1 ¾ cup of date paste together, then tamp down flat over the base in the parchment-lined loaf pan, and then garnish with 15 whole pecans by pressing each pecan into the topping at regular intervals.
Refrigerate for an hour, then cut up into bars with each pecan being in the center of each bar, and enjoy!
