Remove pits from medjool dates. Soak dates in warm water for 10 minutes.
Drain the dates and add them along with the peanut butter to a food processor. Process until smooth, scraping down sides occasionally.
Add vanilla and almond flour and continue to process until a dough forms.
Line a small pan (like a loaf pan) with parchment paper. Press bar mixture into loaf pan. To maintain a thicker bar, I did not use the entire loaf pan. I used maybe 2/3 of the pan.
Gently press chocolate chips onto the surface of the bars. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, until cold and set.
Remove from pan and cut into 8 pieces. Keep refrigerated in an air tight container.
