This is such a delicious, scrumptious, handy recipe to make. If you like to have a small (but EPIC) little square of something after dinner, with a cup of tea, or whenever - then this is for you. This slice if best kept in the freezer for a cold (yet quick-to-defrost supply of "heaven-in-a-mouthful". These are so SO yummy and slightly peanutty, but even if you're not a MASSIVE peanut fan - I think you'll like them. Of course, it's not exactly like a Snickers bar, but it gets pretty close - and is so full of goodness so bottoms up and enjoy lovelies!!

Ingredients

• 1 cup raw macadamias
• 1/2 cup raw cashews
• 1/3 cup peanut butter
• 2/3 cup rice malt syrup
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/2 cup quick oats
• 1/2 desiccated coconut
• pinch of salt
• 2/3 cup dark vegan chocolate
• 2 tbsp cocoa butter
• 3 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 heaped tbsp cocoa powder
• 3-4 tbsp coconut milk

Method

1. In a food processor, blitz the first 8 ingredients into a sticky crumble/dough mixture. You want it to be quite smooth, so scrape down the sides if necessary.
2. Press into a 20cm square tin (or similar, you can't go wrong), that's been lined with baking paper. Smooth off with your hands or with a spatula. Place in the freezer until needed.
3. In a heat-proof bowl, melt together all the remaining ingredients, with another pinch of salt. Stir to combine everything along the way and you could do this in a microwave, warm oven or over a pot of simmering water - up to you.
4. Once a chocolatey melty bowl of wonderfulness, pour over the peanut base that has been in the freezer and smooth over with a spatula. Return to the freezer and leave to set (a couple of hours) before cutting up and tucking in. Best kept in the freezer.
