Raw Chocolate Peanut Butter Squares
AT LAST! I have a recipe for a healthier (and tastier) version of one of my all time favourite party treats!
As far back as I can remember my mom has made Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Squares for every occasion … be it a picnic, birthday party, kitchen tea.
As I sat polishing off quite a few of these addictive squares at my son’s 2nd birthday party, I was adamant to find an alternative recipe that didn’t include margarine, golden syrup, Rice Krispies and dairy milk chocolate.
I am delighted with the way these turned out, so I just have to share it.
Ingredients
Base
1 cup desiccated coconut
3/4 cup raw oats
1/4 cup honey (or agave or maple syrup)
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/8 cup coconut oil, melted
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
pinch of Himalayan salt (if peanut butter is unsalted)
Chocolate topping
1/2 batch of raw chocolate (see separate recipe) or use 2 melted dark chocolate bars.
Method
Squares
Blend all of the base ingredients in a food processor until the ingredients combine to a thick sticky consistency.
If too dry add more peanut butter.
Press the mixture into a silicone loaf tin or mini cupcake tin for individual cups.
Chocolate
Pour the melted chocolate on the peanut butter mixture.
Place in fridge until set.

Vegan Chocolate Cake with frosting
A vegan cake that tastes just like a traditional rich chocolate cake? Huh! Never! There's no way, right? Well, I was wrong. I'd choose this cake over any cake on a dessert table. And I can guarantee you that no-one would even notice that it was a wheat-free,...
Raw Avocado Chocolate Mousse Tart
Inspired by a raw chocolate tart I had at a function recently, I have been playing with this recipe to get it just right, and now it's time to share the love! I'm amazed at how the coconut oil creates a glossy glow and the avocado helps to...
