  • 2 tbsps Smooth peanut butter
  • Handful of pecans
  • pinch Salt
  • 70 g Dark chocolate I used a raspberry flavoured one on this occasion

  • Throw the oats, dates, maple syrup, pecans, peanut butter and salt into a food processor and blitz for 1 minute until it reaches a dough like texture.
