Ingredients
Base ingredients
- 1 cup pecans (100g)
- ½ cup almond flour ground almonds (50g)
- 1½ cups soft medjool dates (200g)
- ¼ cup vegan nutella (60g)
- 2 tbsp cacao powder
Topping ingredients:
- ⅔ cup dark chocolate chips (about 100g)
- 12 pecan halves
Instructions
- Add all the base ingredients to a food processor and blend until soft and sticky. This may take a minute or two. It should hold together well and not be crumbly. If it seems crumbly, add a little water and blend again.
- Separate into 12 pieces and shape into small bars.
- Melt the dark chocolate in a bowl over a pan of hot water. Dip each bar in the chocolate to cover. Top with a pecan half. Refrigerate to harden.
Notes
- I use a vegan, 70% cocoa solids dark chocolate.
- Store in the fridge, and they will last for about a week. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
- I’ve used my homemade version of Nutella (recipe here) but you can also buy some natural versions without refined sugars.
