I have the biggest sweet tooth and chocolate is definitely one of my weaknesses! So as you can imagine Christmas was a bit indulgent with all the sweets and chocolates around!
Even though I’m so sad Christmas is all over with now, I love the feeling of getting back into my normal eating routine which is filled with lots of nutritious foods! My sweet tooth is never going to go away though so I always try to make sure I have some healthy treat lying around so that I don’t go for the bad stuff!
I love these raw chocolate and caramel squares because they are the perfect treat after all the Christmassy indulgences and are guilt free too! Definitely worth a try and they’re so easy to make too – no cooking required 🙂
Ingredients
First Layer:
20 medjool dates, pitted
5 tbsp coconut flour
1/4 cup water (more if needed)
Second Layer:
20 medjool dates, pitted and soaked
1 tbsp cacao butter, melted
Third Layer:
100g dark chocolate, melted (the darker the better)
Method
- Start with the first layer. Blend dates in a food processor until you have a big and sticky ball. Break the ball up slightly before adding in the coconut flour and mix again until you have a powder consistency. Add water gradually until it starts to look like a crumble. Remove and place in a square glass container (mine was 20cm x 15cm). Spread with the back of a spoon until you have a nice flat layer. Freeze.
- Next is the second layer. Using the same food processor (no need to clean it out), blend the soaked dates and melted cacao butter. Slowly add in the water used to soak the dates until you have a smooth and creamy consistency, be careful when adding the water, you don’t want it to be too liquid, should be thick and creamy. Spread over the first layer and freeze again while you prepare your melted chocolate.
- Once your chocolate is melted, spread over the caramel layer and freeze again for 5 minutes until the chocolate has hardened.
- Top with some of the leftover first layer if you have some. Slice into squares…
…and enjoy 🙂
Yummy! 😀

Awesome. Looks easy and tasty 🙂
Do you think nuts fit well in this? Like walnuts? (pressed in the chocolate layer or in the caramel layer?)

Definitely, would work well in either! Love that idea, would add a nice crunch to them while adding more nutrition at the same time 😊
