Instructions

1. Line a 16 cm square baking tin with parchment paper.
2. Roughly chop the dry ingredients and set aside in a large mixing bowl.
3. Next, make the chocolate mix. Add the coconut oil, cacao powder, coconut sugar and coconut nectar to a blender and blend on low, then add the dates and blend until smooth and combined. Do not overblend the chocolate or it can separate. If this happens and there is a lot of extra oil, add in coconut nectar a little at a time until it becomes smooth.
4. Pour the chocolate mix over the dry mix and stir together with a spatula until well combined. Transfer into the lined baking tin and press down the mixture to ensure it is compact. Place in the fridge for 4-6 hours or freezer for 2 hours until it has hardened completely, then cut into 4x4 cm square or 2x8 cm bars. They will keep well in the fridge for up to 7 days.
