Instructions
- Put your kettle on to boil. Line a small baking tin with parchment paper (baking paper).
- Put 6 Medjool dates into a bowl and cover with the boiled water. Allow to soak for 10 minutes.

- Mix well to form a dough like consistency.
- Put the oat mixture into the lined tin and press down.It may be a bit sticky, so place another piece of parchment paper on top and press that down.
- Drain the dates and put them into a blender with 70 g Almond butter, 60 ml Maple syrup, 2 tablespoon Reserved date water and 1 pinch Sea salt.
- Blend until it forms a caramel consistency.
- Melt 100 g Dark chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon Coconut oil in a small pan over a low heat. This will take 3-4 minutes.
- Spread the caramel over the oat base.
- Pour the melted chocolate over the caramel. Sprinkle 1 pinch Sea salt over the chocolate.
- Put into the freezer for about 20 minutes, or until the chocolate has set.

Notes
- Why not make billionaire shortbread? This involves adding something extra on top like some crushed pretzels. And add some edible gold spray to make them really fancy!
- We don't mind that these are messy. "Humble and rustic" as Jamie Oliver would say! However, if you want these to look neater when cutting them, then run a large knife under very hot water. The hot knife makes it easier to slice through the chocolate.
