Chocolate Nut Slice

As some of you know I am trying to cut Wheat, Meat, Dairy 
and Processed sugars out of my diet. 
I think I succeed 70-80% of the time.
This week a friend gave me a lovely recipe that had been passed to her by a friend 
so I am passing it on to you as it is truly yummy.

Chocolate Nut Slice

In food processor chop

3 cups nuts and seeds (soaked and dehydrated if you want…) until fine – or coarse, your choice then remove and put in bowl for later. 
I used 2 cups of Almonds plus 1/4 cup Linseed's, 1/4 cup Sunflower seeds, 1/4 cup Pumpkin seeds, 1/4 cups Sesame seeds. 
You can use any combination



In processor put :

200g dates

1 c coconut

½-3/4  tsp salt depending on taste (3/4 works for me!)

and process till well chopped up

add (this stuff below I put in saucepan and warm till it blends then add it to the above stuff)

1tsp vanilla

5tb honey (or leave out and add some stevia)

5tb coconut oil – or I use a combination of coconut oil, flax seed oil, red palm oil and cocoa butter to keep it firm

3 tablespoons of cocoa or you can use almond butter if you don’t want cocoa.

Optional – I add might add kelp, maca powder or any other goodies. 

Once well combined add the nuts and seeds

Once all combined you can add ½ c raisins at the end but only process enough to mix through not to chop up

Press into container and leave to set. ( I leave mine in the fridge)
 
Enjoy.

On the sewing front I have been working on Pixie Shoes and Hiawatha Headbands 
plus doing a bit of dying.
I just love the colours that I dyed yesterday.

  2. I have recently cut all grains (breads, pasta, rice etc) out of my diet along with sugar in all forms.

    That recipe looks wonderful. I think I'm going to try it with coco powder and almond butter. YUM.
