Description

Homemade 100 grand bars with a date caramel filling, sprouted buckwheat groats topping and dark chocolate coating.


Ingredients

Scale

Caramel Filling

  • 1 cup pitted medjool dates (about 250 grams or 10-12 Medjool dates)
  • 1/3 cup tahini
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt

Topping

Dark Chocolate Coating

  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Line an 8x4 inch loaf pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Place the pitted dates in a small bowl.  Boil water and pour it over dates so that they are fully submerged.  Soak the dates for 5 minutes to soften.
  3. Drain the water, then place the dates in a food processor.  Blend the dates, stopping every few seconds to scrape down the sides, until they form a paste.
  4. Add in the tahini, vanilla and salt. Blend the mixture until forms a thick, sticky caramel.
  5. Spread the caramel into your lined baking pan.
  6. Top the caramel with buckwheat groats. Use your hand to press them down so that they sit firmly in the caramel.
  7. Place the caramel in your freezer and freeze for at least 4 hours. The caramel will harden but will not be completely solid.
  8. When the caramel is ready, melt the dark chocolate. Place the chocolate and coconut oil in a small saucepan and melt it over low heat, stirring frequently.
  9. Once the chocolate is melted, turn off the heat and grab the frozen caramel. Cut the caramel into 12 equally sized pieces.
  10. Dip the caramel, one at a time, into the melted chocolate and then place it on a lined baking sheet to set.
  11. Drizzle any extra chocolate over the bars for decoration (optional).
