- 1-4 tablespoons plant-based milk if needed
For the Caramel and Peanuts
- For the Caramel and Peanuts
- 12 soft medjool dates pitted
- ⅔ cup peanut butter 200 g
- ⅓ cup maple syrup 85 g
- ¼ cup plant-based milk 55 g
- pinch of salt
- 1 cup roasted peanuts 120 g
For the Chocolate
- 1 ½ cup chocolate chips 255 g
- 3 teaspoons melted coconut oil 45 g
Instructions
- In a bowl, add all the base ingredients and mix well until you get a dough that's crumbly but can be pressed together between your fingers. If the dough is too dry, add 1-4 tablespoons of plant-based milk of your choice to adjust the consistency.
- Transfer the dough to an 8-inch square baking pan lined with parchment paper.
- Firmly press the dough into the prepared pan in an even layer and place in the freezer.
- In a food processor, add the dates, peanut butter, sea salt, maple syrup and plant based milk. Process until completely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed until everything is incorporated.
- Remove the base from the freezer and spread the caramel over the base in an even layer using a spatula.
- Sprinkle the roasted peanuts on top of the caramel in an even layer and lightly press them into the caramel.
- Place in the freezer to set for at least 4 hours or overnight. Lift the bars out of the baking tray using the parchment paper and cut into 24 small bars (3 rows of 8). Place the bars back in the freezer while you prepare the chocolate coating.
- Melt the chocolate and coconut oil in a double boiler or the microwave until smooth and creamy. If using the microwave, stir every 15-12 seconds and be careful not to burn the chocolate.
- Dip the bars into the chocolate until coated on all sides then sit them on top of a cooling rack or a tray lined with parchment paper until firm.
Notes
Store the bars in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or enjoy straight from the freezer.
