Ingredients
For the base:
200g crunchy peanut butter
100g honey 25g coconut oil
50g peanuts, finely chopped
100g Rice Krispies
For the topping:
100g dates, soaked in hot water for 2 hours
100g peanut butter
150g dark chocolate 80%
Method
Line an 8in square baking tin with parchment paper. In a pot gently heat the crunchy peanut butter, honey and coconut oil until they form runny syrup.
Do not boil or the mixture will burn. In a bowl, mix the Rice Krispies and chopped peanuts. Pour the heated syrup over the mix and stir until all the Rice Krispies are coated. Transfer the mix to the lined baking tin and press down well.
To make the topping, strain the dates and transfer to a blender together with the remaining peanut butter and blitz until they form a soft caramel-like texture.
To make it easier to blend, add a little water to soften the texture of the dates. With a spatula spread the caramel evenly over the top of the Rice Krispie base and top with a layerof melted dark chocolate. Allow to cool in the fridge for 20 minutes before cutting into squares.
