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.

Do you have any idea what a carmelita is? I had bookmarked this recipe for months and finally got around to trying it! I had no idea what a carmelita was until I accidentally came across this gluten-free, vegan friendly version. I had to google it. Is it an American...
Raw Chocolate Brownies
Rich, gooey and smothered in dark chocolate, these raw brownies are finger-licking good! When recipe testing I usually half the recipe to avoid wasting precious ingredients if it doesn't turn out the way I imagine, but when it comes to raw brownies, I should have...
Lemon Crunch Energy Balls
I have an obsession with date balls at the moment. I can’t stop playing with different flavours. When I made these I got stuck on this one flavour and have made them over and over (and over) again! I love the tart lemon zest, the hint of ginger and the crunch of the...
