Yield Makes 20

Number Of Ingredients 6

20 soft fresh dates (400g), pitted
1/3 cup (95g) smooth natural peanut butter
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup (30g) puffed brown rice
1/2 cup (70g) unsalted peanuts, roughly chopped
80g raw organic 70% dark chocolate

Steps:

  • Line a 10cm x 20cm loaf tin with non-stick baking paper.
  • Place the dates, peanut butter and vanilla in a food processor and process for 2-4 minutes or until the mixture comes together into a paste. Transfer to a large bowl, add the puffed rice and peanuts and mix to combine. Using the back of a spoon, press the mixture into the base of the tin (see note).
  • Place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (the bowl shouldn't touch the water) and stir until melted. Pour the chocolate over the slice and spread evenly. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes or until set. Remove the slice from the tin and cut into bars using a hot knife. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Do Ahead
  • Keep bars refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

These bars are delicious, but they're a bit too crumbly for my liking. I think I'll try pressing them into a pan next time.

I had a hard time getting the caramel to set. I ended up having to put the bars in the freezer for a bit before they were firm enough to cut.

These bars are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still really good. I would recommend using less maple syrup next time.
