The weather is pretty dull here (Kilkee if anyone is asking!!) today so I am hoping that my recipe for these double chocolate caramel squares will brighten your day. This recipe is based on one by the wonderful Merry Maker Sisters.
Caramel Filling
- 330g medjool dates (if not medjool put all the dates in a bowl of boiling water and cover. Leave for an hour, drain out the liquid and use as normal)
- 1/2 cup tinned coconut milk
- 2 tbsp smooth peanut butter
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1/2 - 1 tsp rock salt
Chocolate Topping
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 75g dark chocolate 70%+ (editor note to add you could use homemade raw chocolate here of course)
- 1/2 tsp rock salt
Method
- Line a loaf tin with greaseproof paper.
- Put all the ingredients for the base in to a processor. Blend for a couple of minutes until well combined, it should stick together and crumble a bit.
- Press down the mix in to the tin as flat as possible.
- Place the tin in the freezer.
- Then place all the caramel ingredients in the processor and blend until smooth.
- Pour this mix evenly over the base mix and return to the freezer.
- Melt dark chocolate over a pot of boiling water. Once melted stir through the coconut oil and salt.
- Pour the chocolate mix over the caramel, spreading out evenly.
- Place back in the freezer for an 1 hour to set.
- Once it is set, cut into squares or slices or whatever shape you like.
