I know you are looking for another chocolate slice recipe, right? This one has lots of healthy ingredients too!

The family taste testers rate this one pretty highly.  It’s a bit of a combination of various recipes that I have tried and I add in what I want and if there’s anything nuts or seeds in the pantry I would like to get rid of I add a handful of those also.  Just don’t go too crazy!

It is perfect to keep in the fridge for when you need a quick sweet fix.  I usually save mine for dessert when the kids have gone to bed and I can finally have 5 minutes peace! Just don’t eat too much as it’s still high in calories.

Chocolate Fudgy Pieces

What you need …  

250g medjool dates, pitted
1/2 cup water
1 cup walnuts
1 cup oats
1/2 cup coconut
2 tbs chia seeds
2 tbs cacao powder
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted

What you do …

Place dates and water in small saucepan over heat and cook until dates have absorbed all the water.  While this is cooking place whole walnuts in food processor and blitz them up a bit … it is up to you how finely you want the walnut pieces.  I like to have it so that you can see the pieces and the slice is a bit crunchy.

Add all ingredients to food processor and process until all blended together.

Press mixture into small baking pan, depending on how thick you would like your pieces to be.  Place in fridge for a few hours until cooled.

I then take mine out, slice up into smallish pieces and sprinkle with cacao powder.

They will store in the fridge for several days, if they last that long of course!

Enjoy!
