In a small bowl, combine the mashed dates, protein powder, salt, vanilla extract, and one tablespoon of the water. Work the dough with your hands or the back of a fork for a minute, then add the remaining half-tablespoon of water a few drops at a time until the mixture holds together when a pinch is squeezed.
Press the dough into a rectangle on a piece of parchment paper, roughly 4 by 2 inches and half an inch thick with squared-off edges. Place the chopped dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 20 second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the top of the date bar to the edges in a layer about an eighth-inch thick. Refrigerate the bar for 15 minutes until the chocolate is firm. Once the chocolate snaps rather than smears when touched, lift the bar off the parchment. Done when chocolate snaps rather than smears.
