I have a few variations of this recipe linked below. Essentially you need a nut or seed butter, chocolate, and a fat, for this one. The fat and the nut/seed butter is up to you. For this recipe you will need dark chocolate, but the quality is up to you also. You can always go higher like 80% or 90%, ideally sugar free.
The protein powder is optional I used about 30-40g. if you don’t use a protein, I do suggest a couple of tbs of raw honey/maple or date paste to sweeten a little but it is not essential.
Add in whatever seeds you like for crunch, hemp/sunflower are both good options and top again as you wish with seeds and nuts of choice, I love shredded coconut for crunch, a little sweetness and it makes a nice change. I buy it frozen and toast it lightly in the oven. Coconut flakes work just as well.
This does need to be kept I the fridge ,otherwise it will go too soft, it will also last longer that way. However, this is a warning. Its highly addictive, if it lasts the week you have done very, very well! Enjoy.
