Author: Jen - A Naturally Nu Foodie Recipe

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Chill Time: 15 minutes (freezer) to 30 minutes (fridge)

Total Time: 25 to 40 minutes

Number of Servings: 30, 1 inch (~2.5 cm) squares

Ingredients:

• 2-3/4 cups (345 grams) roasted unsalted peanuts

• 8 oz (227 grams) dates, pitted

• 2 tbsp (30 mL) avocado oil or coconut oil, melted

• ¼ tsp (1 mL) salt

• 2 to 3 tbsp (30 to 45 mL) dark chocolate chips, vegan if desired

Method:

1. Pour peanuts into a food processor and pulse until peanuts are crushed into small pieces. If you over pulse, it will start to become too smooth and peanut butter will start to form.

2. Add dates, oil and salt. Pulse until the peanut mixture combines and holds together. Transfer to a large bowl.

3. With a wooden spoon, stir in chocolate chips + press peanut mixture into squares of mould

4. Place mould in the fridge for about 30 minutes before serving.
