Instructions
Cookie Base
Combine almond flour, cashew butter, vanilla extract, coconut oil, salt, maple syrup and monk fruit sweetener in a bowl. Mix until a dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a loaf pan and spread it into an even layer. Set aside.
Chocolate Fudge Centre
Combine dates, milk, cocoa powder, vanilla extract and coconut oil in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth, scrapping the sides as needed.
Add the Chocolate Fudge to the Cookie Dough base and spread it into an even layer. Optional, sprinkle chopped pecan on top.
Refrigerate for 2-3 hours.
Caramel Drizzle
Add coconut oil, maple syrup, almond butter, vanilla extract and salt to a sauce pan and whisk over medium low heat until the ingredients are fully incorporated and very smooth.
Finally!
Take your chocolate fudge cookie bars out of the fridge and drizzle your caramel sauce over the bars.
Enjoy!
Tips
  • If your dates are hard, soak them in hot water for 5 mins to soften them.
  • If you store the caramel sauce in the fridge prior to drizzling, the caramel sauce will thicken. Simply warm it back up before using.
