Yields1 Serving

 300 g hazelnuts
 4 heaped tbsp raw cacao, or to tast
 1 cup coconut flakes
 2 cups pitted dates, soaked in hot water for 15 minutes if too firm
 2 tsp pure vanilla extract or seeds
 50 g 85% dark organic chocolate (i use green&blacks in coles and woolys), optional
 1 shot coffee, optional variation (this really boosts the choc flavour. Omit for kids!)

1

Roast hazelnuts until fragrant and toasted. Place in a clean tea towel and rub away skins as much as you can.

2

Place hazelnuts, coconut and cacao in a food processor. Pulse to a large crumb. Add dates and vanilla and coffee if desired, and processes until it comes together.

3

Line a freezer container with baking paper. Press mixture to about 6-8mm thick, smooth and compacted. Freeze to set.

4

Meanwhile melt dark chocolate over a double boiler. Remove slice from freezer and cut into desired sized bars. Drizzle with dark chocolate if desired

Serving Suggestion:
5

You can throw in a few nuts at the end and pulse a couple of times if you prefer some larger chunks through your bar.

6

Makes a large tray. 1/2 the recipe if desired.
