Ingredients

• 1 cup Raw almonds
• 1 cup Medjool dates, pitted
• 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
• 0.5 cup Almond butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
• 1 cup Dark chocolate (Paleo-friendly, 70% cacao or higher), chopped
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper and set aside.

Step 2

In a food processor, combine raw almonds and Medjool dates. Process until the mixture resembles a sticky, crumbly dough. It should hold together when pressed.

Step 3

Transfer the almond-date mixture into the prepared baking dish, pressing it evenly to form a compact base layer. Place the dish in the freezer while preparing the toffee layer.

Step 4

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Stir in almond butter, vanilla extract, and sea salt until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Remove the base from the freezer and pour the almond butter mixture over it, spreading evenly with a spatula. Return the dish to the freezer for about 15 minutes until the toffee layer is firm.

Step 6

Melt the chopped dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth.

Step 7

Pour the melted chocolate over the firm toffee layer, spreading evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Sprinkle unsweetened shredded coconut and chopped nuts (if using) on top of the chocolate layer.

Step 9

Place the dish in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or until the chocolate is set.

Step 10

Once set, cut the toffee crisp into bars and enjoy. Store extras in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
