Choc jaffa bars

// ingredients \\

225g nuts & seeds (I used 150g cashews, 50g pepitas + 25g sunflower seeds)

300g medjool dates

30g cocoa or cacao

Zest of whole organic orange

200g 70% Lindt chocolate

Wild Orange Essential Oil or Orange Essence (optional)

Orange zest to decorate

// method \\

Place chocolate into TM bowl and grate 5 sec / speed 9. Add 3 or 4 drops of orange oil (if using). Scrape down and melt 4 mins / 50°C / speed 2. Half way through the 4 mins, remove lid of TM bowl and scrape down any chocolate from sides or any that is on top of blades. Set aside. Do not wash bowl.

Add nuts & seeds and blend 10 secs / speed 9

Add dates, cocoa, orange zest and another 3 or 4 drops of orange oil (if using) and mix 30 sec / speed 9. Repeat until completely broken down and binding together.

Push flat into a 23cm x 23cm baking dish lined with baking paper.

Pour chocolate evenly over base, sprinkle on some more orange zest and pop the slice into freezer until chocolate sets.

We love to eat it straight from the freezer so it’s nice and crisp + chewy!

Can be stored in fridge. Enjoy!
