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

Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper. Set aside.
Soak the dates in hot water for 5 minutes*
For the shortbread crust: add all crust ingredients to a large mixing bowl. This includes the almond flour, shortening, maple syrup, vanilla and salt. Mix first with a spatula, then use your hands to combine the dough.
Firmly press the crust dough into your lined baking dish.
For the caramel filling: drain the water from the dates and add them to your food processor, along with the remaining filling ingredients. This includes the coconut cream, sunflower seed butter and vanilla. Blend until the mixture has a fairly smooth, consistent texture.
Spread the caramel filling over the crust.
Place the bars in the freezer while you make the topping.
For the chocolate topping: Place the chocolate in a small, microwaveable dish. Melt in the microwave at 20-30 second intervals, stirring between until fully melted.
Mix in the sunflower seed butter.
Grab the bars from the freezer and spread the chocolate topping over the caramel layer.
Chill: Place the bars in the fridge for at least 6 hours to fully set.
Cut the bars into 16 even pieces and enjoy!
Storage: store bars in an airtight container or baggie in the fridge or freezer. (They're actually REALLY good right out of the freezer!)

Notes

*To soak the dates, place the dates in a glass or ceramic bowl. You can either heat a pot of water on the stovetop and pour it over the dates until they are fully submerged. Or, pour water over the dates and then heat them in the microwave for 1 minute.
