Ingredients:
BASE LAYER
½ cup coconut flour
1/4 cup organic maple syrup
1 cup slivered almonds
1 teaspoon coconut oil
Place all ingredients in a food processor and pulse until combined. Press into a lined rectangular tin and place in freezer to set.
CARAMEL LAYER
1 cup pre-soaked pitted Medjool dates (soaked in warm water for 10-15 minutes then drained)
2 Tablespoons almond butter
2 Tablespoons coconut oil
½ tsp sea salt
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup unsalted dry roasted peanuts
Place all ingredients (except peanuts) in a food processor and blend until smooth (adding 1 tablespoon of water to help blend if needed). Smooth evenly across the base layer and then top with the peanuts.
CHOCOLATE LAYER
1/2 cup melted coconut oil
1/3 cup raw cacao powder
¼ cup organic maple syrup
1/2 Tablespoon hulled tahini
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
In a medium sized bowl mix all ingredients together with a whisk. Pour the chocolate layer on top of the other 2 layers and place back into the freezer to harden for ½ an hour. Take out and cut into bars or squares while still semi soft. Place back into the freezer overnight to harden completely. Store in the fridge or freezer.
