It’s the beginning of another week and that deserves some sweet treats!
I’m sharing with you this sweet and crunchy date-caramel chocolate almond slice. It’s got gooey, date-caramel infused with almond butter, slivered almonds, puffed rice and dark chocolate all in one bite. And most of the ingredients are in the name of the slice itself . . . just add the puffed rice and vanilla essence and you’ve got yourself a 6-ingredient-sweet-treat-that-tastes-like-heaven! (I actually don’t know what heaven tastes like but you get where I’m going here, don’t you?)
And in addition they’re:
no bake
refined sugar free
gluten free
super delicious
Ingredients
20 dates, pitted
⅓ cup almond butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup puffed rice (or as we know it - Rice Bubbles)
½ cup slivered almonds
100g dark chocolate (sugar free)
Instructions
If dates are dry, soak in hot water for 10 minutes. Drain, then add to a food processor with almond butter and vanilla extract. Process until a paste is formed.
Add puffed rice and almonds to a mixing bowl, along with the date paste. Stir well with a wooden spoon or your hands, to combine. It should be a very sticky ball.
Line a loaf tin with greaseproof paper and push in the mixture, smoothing over with the back of a spoon to make sure it is even.
Melt chocolate and pour over the mixture. Set aside in the fridge to set, about 30 minutes.
Cut into slices with a hot knife.
Eat and enjoy!
I bought the jar of almond butter at Coles
Press into a rectangular (or any shape really!) tin
Cut into bite size (or in my case mouthful size) pieces.
