Ingredients

• 1 cup walnuts (unsoaked)
• 1 – 1.5 cups dates (pitted unsoaked)
• 1/4 cup raw cacao powder

Preparation

Place in food processor and blend until well blended (about 30 seconds) - should still be dry and chunky. The dates are the binding ingredient, and some are moister than others, so start with 1 cup and if the mixture is still very loose, add extra dates until it begins to bind. Press into a small spring form pan. Refrigerate until you can insert a knife and it isn't too sticky. Cut into little pieces, then pop into a zip lock bag and freeze. They can be eaten fresh, from the fridge or from the freezer, they won't last long though!

Notes/Tips/References

All chocolate is made from the cacao (cocoa) bean, and cacao beans in their natural, unprocessed, unadulterated state are rich in nutrients and beneficial to health. In its raw state, it contains more antioxidant flavonoids than red wine, green tea and blueberries. Our raw cacao is high in fibre and vitamin C and a good source of iron and protein! But apart from that this remarkable product redefines 'delicious'.
