Cook: Chill for 1 - 2 hours

Serves: 16 squares

These bars taste like a butterscotch and vanilla caramel treat – but with no refined sugar. They are gorgeously mouthwatering, and packed with nutrition as well as very filling, one slice should satisfy your indulgence. If you cannot find cocoa butter use 200g melted white chocolate, but omit the agave/maple syrup.

Method

● Line a 23cm square pan with parchment paper.

● In a food processor, process the cashew nuts until they are a sandy consistency with a slightly rough texture, then place in a bowl.

● Process the pitted dates until finely chopped and smooth then blend with the ground almonds and cashew nuts. When blended, pulse in the flaked almonds and sea salt for a couple of bursts until a ball is formed.
