A Magical Vegan Candy
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut flour
- 1/8 cup coconut sugar
- 1/3 cup coconut oil (or coconut cream)
- 1 tbsp pure date syrup (alternatively use maple syrup)
- for the caramel layer:
- 2 tbsp nut butter (almond or cashew)
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- for the coating:
- 1 tbsp of melted coconut oil
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 180°c (350f)
Place all the ingredients for the base in a medium sized bowl and mix together
Make sure that the dough is sticky enough by pressing it together with your fingers
If it's too crumbly, add some more date/ maple syrup and coconut oil
Line a 24 cm baking tin with parchment paper and press the base dough inside until it is evenly spread (make sure to press it firmly and even it out, so it won't break apart)
Bake at 180°c (350f) for 10-15 minutes, until golden brown
Place all ingredients for the caramel layer into a blender and mix for 3-5 minutes until combined
To help with the blending soak the dates in warm water for approx
Hour
Spread the caramel layer over the base and freeze for 30 minutes
Cut into small bars and coat with melted chocolate mixed together with the melted coconut oil
Set in the freezer to dry
