Salted Dark Chocolate Almond-Date Bark

No-bake Crunchy, chewy, sweet + salty



Ingredients

  • 24 large Medjool dates (preferably soft)

  • Almond butter

  • Flaked almonds

  • Vegan dark chocolate - I use 85-90% - this counteracts the sweetness of the dates

  • Sprinkling of sea salt (optional)



Instructions

  • Roast the almonds in a 350º for 10 min

  • Cut open each date and lay them face up on a sheet of parchment in rows of 4 across and 6 deep

  • Place another sheet of parchment and tamp them down hard either with the bottom of a glass or I use the Cuisinart burger press

  • Remove the top sheet and spread almond butter over the surface - needs to be a bit runny, so microwave for a minute if it is not runny

  • Sprinkle the almonds over the almond butter

  • Melt the chocolate in 20 second intervals in the microwave - watch closely and stir

  • Pour the chocolate over the nuts and spread across

  • Put it in the fridge for a couple of hours and then either break off or cut into pieces



Notes

  • Try it with peanut butter and peanuts instead of almonds for a change
