Ingredients
 

  • 200 g dark chocolate (80%)
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • 12 medjool dates pitted
  • 2 tbsp peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp mixed seeds/nuts
  • ½ tsp matcha

Instructions
 

  • Add the dark chocolate and coconut oil to a microwavable bowl. Melt in the microwave. (do this in 30 second intervals, stirring in between until fully melted) Once melted, line a tray with parchment paper and spread half the mixture in an even layer.
  • Next, remove the pit from each medjool date and place in an even layer on top of the chocolate. Press down firmly.
  • Drizzle a layer of peanut butter over dates.
  • Top the peanut butter with some mixed nuts and seeds.
  • Finally, pour over the remainder of the dark chocolate and spread evenly with a spoon. On this occasion, I topped with green matcha but feel free to top with whatever you fancy.
  • Place in the freezer to set for 20 minutes before cutting into even squares.
  • I store mine in the freezer, however, they will keep well in the fridge for up to a week… although they won't last long 😂

Notes

Potential changes/add ins:
  • Change the peanut butter for almond or cashew butter
  • Top with pine nuts, pistachios or cashews instead of the green matcha powder
  • Add a layer of jam on top of the peanut butter before adding the final layer of dark chocolate.
