Ingredients:
Topping:
Blend the base: In a food processor, pulse the dates until a paste forms. Add the chia seeds, almond butter, cacao powder, coconut, melted coconut oil, vanilla, and salt.
Pulse again until thoroughly combined.
Mix & fold: Add the chopped dark chocolate and pulse a few more times until evenly distributed.
Shape it up: Line a 9 x 9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Transfer the mixture to the pan and press it down firmly to create an even layer.
Add the topping: Pour the melted dark chocolate over the pressed mixture, spreading it evenly. Drizzle the almond butter over the top, then use a knife to gently swirl it into the chocolate for a marbled effect.
Set & slice: Place the pan in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or in the freezer for 10 minutes, until firm.
Enjoy! Slice into bars and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
