    40g salted peanuts

    1 100g bar of dark chocolate melted

    METHOD

    Add all the caramel ingredients to the blender and blend until thick and smooth, making sure you scrape down the sides, so you don’t lose any.

    Remove the Date “Caramel” from the food processor and place in a bowl.

    Add the blended oats to the food processor (no need to rinse) with 3TBS of the Date Caramel and blend until mixed well. It will be like a sticky dough.

    Line a loaf tin with baking paper and firmly press the nougat dough into the bottom. Now Using a spatula spread the remaining Date Caramel over the Nougat sprinkle the Peanuts evenly over the Caramel and press the Peanuts into the Caramel so they stick.Now. put this into the freezer for about 60 an hour.

    Once frozen take out of the loaf tin then use a sharp knife to cut it into bar-sized pieces.

    Melt the chocolate by breaking into pieces and placing in a bowl and putting over a pan of bowling water. Place a large piece of baking paper on a plate.Now dip each bar into the melted chocolate and place on the baking paper.
