METHOD

• LEAVE DATES TO SOAK IN HOT WATER FOR 30-60MINS, DRAIN BEFORE USING

• PROCESS NUTS/SEEDS UNTIL BROKEN DOWN INTO A CHUNKY MEAL, PULSE IN CHIA AND SALT AND SET ASIDE IN A LARGE BOWL

• PROCESS DATES AND PEANUT BUTTER UNTIL A CHUNKY PASTE FORMS, POUR INTO NUT MIXTURE AND MIX TO COMBINE

• PRESS INTO A LINED SQUARE CAKE TIN AND POP INTO THE FRIDGE FOR 60 MINUTES TO FIRM UP A LITTLE, REMOVE FROM FRIDGE AND SLICE INTO BARS/PIECES AND PLACE ONTO A LINED TRAY

• MELT THE CHOCOLATE AND COCONUT OIL AND WHISK UNTIL SMOOTH THEN DRIZZLE OVER BARS AND POP INTO THE FREEZER FOR A FEW MINUTES TO SET THE CHOCOLATE

• STORE IN THE FRIDGE OR FREEZER

NOTES

– I USED A MIXTURE OF PEANUTS/WALNUTS/PEPITAS/ALMONDS AND BRAZIL NUTS (CLEANING OUT MY PANTRY!), BUT YOU COULD USE ONE TYPE TO KEEP IT SIMPLE
