Healthy Choc Salted Caramel Slice

Before coming to New Zealand I didn't know much about the wonderful culinary experience that is slice. Then as I was integrated into the school system, it became a stable. When slice prices rose at the canteen, we revolted.
So it was a cold, autumn afternoon, I was studying my bum off and the craving hit. I was a week out from mother nature's monthly visit and I wanted salted caramel and chocolate - pronto! 
Striving to 1. get some abs in the most holistic and un-sacrificing way and 2. to keep my skin clear, I wanted to make a yummy, sugar and dairy free slice. And I got this: 



Now, I'm pretty proud with how these turned out! They're dairy and gluten free, plus if you don't use honey completely vegan! Plus they pack a protein punch 'cause of the bukinis and pea protein in them.

To be completely honest I just made this up on the spot! 
But what's included - for the base: 
  • mostly bukinis 
  • oats
  • handful of almonds 
  • couple of dates
  • shredded coconut 
  • a little coconut sugar
Blend up these ingredients in a food processor, a smoothie maker works fine (that's what I used) just turn up your music to ignore the noises it makes, then add:
  • some peanut butter 
  • enough melted coconut oil (you could use butter too) to make it all stick together 
  • swizzle of agave nectar
  • drizzle of honey - yes I like it sweet! 
Then pop this in the fridge and get started with the chocolate:
  • All you really need is enough chocolate to cover the top of your base. So guesstimate it! I believe in you! 
The best way to melt chocolate is in a glass/porcelain/metal bowl over a pot of steaming water, this way you don't scorch it. 

Spread the chocolate over the base, refrigerate for 45 mins (or thereabouts) and enjoy your healthy completely sugar-free slice!
