Chocolate Cashew Bars

Serves: 10
Course: Dessert
Cooking Time: 1 hr 0 mins

Ingredients

  • (makes 20 or so)
  • 300g raw cashews
  • 300g stoned dates
  • 150g almond butter
  • 4 tbsp maple syrup
  • 50g coconut flour
  • 50g dessicated coconut
  • Topping
  • 150g dark chocolate (85%)
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil

Make the base of the bars by blitzing all the ingredients together in a food processor. You may need to do this in two batches. If so, transfer the lot to a bowl afterwards and mix thoroughly. Then press the mixture into a baking tray lined with parchment paper, and place in the fridge to set.

To make the topping, melt the chocolate and coconut oil in a bowl over hot water. When the base is set, pour the melted chocolate on top and chill until set.
