Ingredients

Ingredients for the caramel:

1¼ cups mixed, unsalted nuts (175g)
1½ cups soft medjool dates (about 225g)
2 tbsp almond butter

Topping ingredients:

1 cup dark chocolate chips (150g)
¼ cup chopped pistachios (25g)
Sprinkle of freeze dried raspberries optional

Instructions

Put the nuts, pitted dates and nut butter into a food processor. Blend until sticky and soft. If it won’t stick together, add 1-2 tbsp of water and mix again.
Shape the mixture into 15 little squares and refrigerate whilst you melt the chocolate.
Put the chocolate in a bowl and melt over a pan of hot water. Coat each bar and top with the chopped nuts and raspberries (and a sprinkling of sea salt, if you like).

Notes

The nutritional information is based on the combination of nuts I used – this may differ slightly if you use a different combination.
These are best kept in the fridge and will keep for 7 days. They freeze well too.
Any combination of nuts will work for these bars.
If you find it difficult to coat the bars in the chocolate, add a tsp or two of melted coconut oil and mix through.
