Ingredients

160 g soft, pitted dates
1 cup (135 g) roasted almonds
200 g dark chocolate
1 tsp. coconut oil (optional)

Directions

1. Begin by roasting raw almonds for about 15 to 20 minutes at 350°F, depending on how roasted you like them. Allow them to cool before use.
2. Arrange the soft, pitted dates in a rectangular container lined with parchment paper, ensuring the skinny part of the dates faces the bottom.
3. Place the cooled, roasted almonds on top of the dates. Gently press over the almonds, allowing them to adhere to the dates’ flesh.
4. For the finishing touch, pour melted dark chocolate as the third and top layer. Use a spatula to evenly distribute the chocolate. Give the container a gentle shake to ensure even thickness.
5. Allow the assembled layers to sit in the fridge for about an hour or until the chocolate is firm.
6. Once set, cut the bars into bite-sized pieces and enjoy guilt-free, your wholesome homemade treat.
