Tips:

Use a food processor to quickly and easily chop the walnuts and dates.
If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the walnuts and dates by hand with a knife.
Be sure to press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan so that it is evenly distributed and compact.
For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
If you want a sweeter bar, add an extra 1/2 cup of sugar to the filling.
Be sure to let the bars cool completely before cutting them into squares so that they hold their shape.
Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Celestial Bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover walnuts and dates. With their chewy crust, gooey filling, and chocolatey topping, Celestial Bars are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
