My absolute favourite slice as a child was made from melting a bunch of Mars Bars together with some extra butter, chocolate and rice bubbles stirred in at the end. This slice uses minimally-processed ingredients to replicate this childhood favourite without compromising on taste.
ingredients
Base
- ½ cup pecans
- ½ cup Really Raw Cashews
- 1 cup Shredded Coconut
- 5 dates
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 heaped tbsp peanut butter
Caramel buckwheat layer
- ⅓ cup peanut butter
- 3 tbsp Coconut Oil
- 1 tbsp of mesquite powder
- ⅓ cup Coconut Nectar
- 2 cups Caramalised Buckinis
Chocolate topping
- ½ cup raw cacao butter
- 2 tbsp Coconut Oil
- ¼ cup Cacao Powder
- 2 tbsp Coconut Nectar
Additional toppings (all optional)
- Nut butter
- 85% Dark Chocolate squares

method
- Step 1 :For the base, blend nuts and coconut until broken down. Add dates, salt and peanut butter and blend until combined and starting to stick together. Press into a slice pan and place in the freezer while you make the next layer.
- Step 2 :To make the caramel buckwheat layer, add the peanut butter, coconut oil, mesquite powder and coconut nectar in a medium-sized saucepan over low heat and stir until melted and mixed together. Pour in the buckinis and mix well. Poor over the base layer, and place back in the freezer to set while you make the topping.
- Step 3 :For a chocolate topping, combine all ingredients in a saucepan over low heat and stir until smooth and well combined. Pour over the top of the frozen slice. Place back in the freezer until the top layer is set.
- Step 4 :Once the slice is set, cut down the middle, and then slice into bars. Place a teaspoon of nut butter on top of each one, with a square of chocolate pressed gently on top. Scatter with raw cacao and crushed nuts.
