Method

You’ll need: baking tray · chopping board · knife

1. Halve the dates, remove the stones and press them flat next to each other on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
2. Spread the peanut butter evenly over the date base.
3. Slowly melt the dark chocolate in a bowl over a pan of hot water and pour it over the peanut butter.
4. Roughly chop the almonds and scatter them with the coarse sea salt over the still-liquid chocolate.
5. Put the tray in the freezer for 30 min. Then break the slab into pieces and serve cold.

Good to know

A snack that's very hard to stop eating. Dates and nut butter melt together into an incredibly dense caramel layer.

Swaps

Peanut butter → tahini (for a Middle Eastern note, use dark tahini, which goes brilliantly with chocolate).

Cooking tips

Be sure to use soft Medjool dates. Ordinary, firmer dates can't be pressed flat into an even base.

Storage
