Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup Medjool Dates (pitted) Choose soft and sticky ones for best results.
  • 2 tablespoons Almond Butter (or sunflower seed butter for nut-free)
  • 1 tablespoon Coconut Oil (melted)
  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips (or dark chocolate bar) Use dark chocolate for a richer flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pit and check your dates. Ensure they are soft and sticky to blend smoothly.
  2. Blend the dates, almond butter, and melted coconut oil until you have a thick, uniform paste.
  3. Press the mixture into an even layer in a suitable pan.
  4. Melt the chocolate chips until smooth.
  5. Pour the melted chocolate over the date caramel layer and spread evenly.
  6. Chill until the chocolate has set firmly.
  7. Slice into small squares or rectangles to serve.

Notes

Chill before slicing for cleaner cuts, and store in the fridge to maintain texture.
