Homemade Milky Ways
Nougat
- 200g (10-12) pitted medjool dates
- 2/3 cup (150g) Native Forest Organic Simple Coconut Milk
- 3/4 cup (90g) coconut flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
Caramel
- 1/4 cup (65g) almond butter
- 1/2 cup (160g) maple syrup
- 1/3 cup (80g) coconut oil, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
Chocolate coating
- 1 cup (170g) chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
Instructions
- In a food processor, process the dates with the coconut milk. Add the flour and salt, and process briefly until combined and dough-like.
- Press into a lined pan (approximately 9x5”). Set aside.
- Whisk together the caramel ingredients until smooth and creamy. Pour on top of the nougat layer and smooth.
- Refrigerate overnight.
- Slice into 16 bars. Freeze for 30 minutes while you melt the chocolate.
- Melt the chocolate chips with the coconut oil (60-90 seconds on high). Stir until smooth.
- Carefully dip/drizzle each bar to fully coat. You want to work quickly before the caramel layer begins to soften.
- Allow the chocolate to fully set in the fridge (about 30 minutes).
