Prepare your dates by removing the pits.
Add dates, maple syrup, nut butter, vanilla extract, and salt to a food processor and process until nearly smooth.
Add the protein powder (add as little or as much as desired!) and puff cereal, process until well combined.
Line a loaf pan with unbleached parchment paper and press the mixture evenly and firmly into the pan. Chill in the refrigerator or freezer for 60 minutes to set.
Use the overhanging liner to lift mixture onto a cutting board and cut into 9 bars.
