All the rich, gooey goodness of a classic caramel slice—but better for you with naturally sweet, velvety date caramel instead of traditional caramel. This is a healthier version with some ingredient swap outs but still the classic base and chocolate taste.

Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

1. Make the base; mix flour, almond flour, shredded coconut, honey, and brown sugar, in a bowl. Keep adding melted butter until it holds together like wet sand when pressed, but more dry than wet. Press into a 15cm x 15cm container lined with baking paper. Bake at 180°C for 20 minutes until lightly golden. Let cool in the fridge while you prepare the caramel.
2. Make the date caramel; soak dates in boiling water for 5 minutes to soften. Add to a food processor with tahini/peanut butter, honey, and salt. Blend until thick and smooth. If too thick, add a few spoonfuls of the hot soaking water until you get a spreadable consistency.
3. Assemble the slice; Spread the date caramel evenly over the cooled base. Melt the dark chocolate and pour over the top, spreading evenly. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour until set.
4. Slice & serve; Use a very sharp knife to cut because the top will be hard and the caramel is soft. Cutting in a shearing motion to weaken the chocolate, then press firmly to break through.
