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.
