Chocolate orange slice

May 10, 2019

Chocolate and orange is a classic flavour combination and a favorite of mine. These bars are quick to make, contain nourishing fats, and are high in fibre; making it a filling and satisfying snack. This slice keeps together well out of the fridge so makes the perfect accompaniment to a child’s lunch box.

Ingredients

Base
3 cups desiccated coconut
1 cup cashews
zest of two oranges
4 tbs orange juice
2 tbs maple syrup

½ tsp grated vanilla

Chocolate Topping

¼ cup coconut oil
½ cup cacao powder
¼ cup maple syrup

Press the base into a lined slice tin.
Refrigerate for 4 hours.
Remove base from tin, and cut into slices.
To make the topping, melt cacao butter and coconut oil in a pot over a low heat.
