INSTRUCTIONS
Process dates with maple syrup and cocoa.
Transfer to a bowl, add the peanuts and mix.
Transfer the paste to a piece of parchment paper or silicone mat.
Slightly wet your hands and press to shape an even square.
Freeze for 2-3 hours.
Remove from the freezer and cut into squares or rectangles.
To make the chocolate coating, add the chocolate and oil to a bowl. Melt in the microwave or au bain-marie.
Using two forks, dip the squares in the chocolate until they are completely coated, let the excess chocolate drip off and transfer to a piece of parchment paper or silicone mat.
Freeze until hardened.
Optionally you can drizzle some more chocolate on top (just melted chocolate without oil) to make them look cuter and add a little bit of sea salt to give it an extra kick.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer.
