Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2c raw nuts (cashews, pecans, or almonds)
  • 2c unsweetened coconut
  • 1c unsweetened cocoa powder or raw cacao
  • 1/2c pure maple syrup
  • 10-12 dates, pitted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2c pure maple syrup
  • 1/2c unsweetened cocoa powder or raw cacao
  • 1/4c coconut oil, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • pinch salt

Instruction

  • To make the fudgy base, pulse nuts and coconut in a food processor until very fine. Add cocoa powder, maple syrup, dates, vanilla, and salt. Pulse until mixture comes together and pulls away from the sides (there will still be some texture from the nuts and coconut).
  • Press mixture into a 8×8″ or 9×9″ square pan, lined with parchment. Press out until smooth and even.
  • To make the chocolate topping, whisk together syrup, cocoa powder, coconut oil, vanilla, and salt until quite smooth. Pour over fudgy base layer and spread out to evenly coat. Place whole mixture into the refrigerator or freezer to chill until firm. Slice into 16-20 bars and enjoy!
