Method:

Line an 8 inch square pan with parchment paper

Add the dates to a small bowl and cover with boiling water, set aside for 5 mins

Meanwhile blend the remaining ingredients for the bars – blend fine for a smooth texture or leave course for more bite.

Drain the dates then add them to the blender. It should be the consistency of a thick paste. It is too dry use a tbsp or two of the date water.

Add the mixture to the lined pan and press down well and flat.

Melt the chocolate buttons and coconut oil in the microwave, then pour over the mixture.

Place in the fridge to set for 1 hour before cutting into bars.

Store in fridge.
