Total Time: 40 Minutes, Servings: 6 Servings

Ingredients :

For the nougat:
• 100 g (2/3 cup) raw cashew nuts soaked in cold water overnight or in boiling water for 15 minutes
• 50 g (1.8 oz) cacao butter
• 4 tablespoons maple syrup (or sub any other sweetener)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the caramel:
• 65 g (1/3 cup) pitted dates soaked in cold water overnight or in boiling water for 15 minutes
• 65 g (1/4 cup) smooth peanut butter (or sub almond butter, sunflower seed butter or tahini)
• 3 tablespoons maple syrup (or sub any other sweetener)
• Pinch salt
• 65 g (1/2 cup) roasted peanuts
For the chocolate:
• 150 g (5.2 oz) dark chocolate ** (ensure vegan/gluten-free if necessary)
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil

Instructions :

For the nougat:
• Drain the soaked cashews and add to a food processor along with the cacao butter*, maple syrup and vanilla
• Whizz until completely smooth
• Transfer the mixture to a loaf tin lined with greaseproof baking paper (I used a one-pound loaf tin)
• Make sure you get rid of any air bubbles and make sure the top is completely smooth
• Place in the freezer to firm up while you make the caramel
For the caramel:
• Drain the soaked dates and add to a food processor along with the peanut butter, maple syrup and salt
• Whizz until completely smooth
• Making sure the nougat layer has firmed up, spread the caramel over the nougat layer in the loaf tin
• Sprinkle the peanuts over the caramel and press them down into the caramel so that the surface becomes quite even
• Place back in the freezer for about 1 hour until completely firmed up
For the chocolate:
• Making sure the nougat and caramel layers have firmed up completely, slice it into six bars
• Break up the chocolate into small pieces and place in a bowl with the coconut oil (using a wide-bottomed bowl makes it easier to dip the bars into the melted chocolate)
• Place the bowl over a pan of boiling water and stir regularly until melted – make sure not to overheat it as the chocolate will ‘split’ if you heat it too much
• Use a small fork to carefully lift the bars one at a time into the melted chocolate and use a spoon to spoon the melted chocolate over the bar until it has been completely covered in melted chocolate
• Use the small fork to lift the bar out of the melted chocolate and onto a baking tray lined with baking paper
• Drizzle the remaining melted chocolate over the top of the bars to decorate, if desired
• Place in the fridge for a couple of hours until the chocolate has hardened completely
• Keeps in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a few days
