Easy No-Bake Cacao Date & Nut Squares

These are somewhere between a brownie bite and an energy square. Rich, simple and easy to keep in the fridge for when you want something chocolatey without baking.

Ingredients

• 200g soft dates, stones removed
• 120g walnuts or almonds
• 30g finely chopped or grated Mother Earth ceremonial cacao
• 2 tbsp coconut oil
• Pinch of sea salt
• Optional: vanilla, cinnamon or coconut flakes

Method

1. Blend the nuts until roughly ground.
2. Add the dates, cacao, coconut oil and sea salt.
3. Blend again until the mixture starts holding together when pressed.
4. Press firmly into a small lined tray or food container.
5. Chill for at least an hour, then cut into squares.

If your dates are quite dry, soak them in hot water for 10 minutes first and drain well.
