Chocolate, Date, & Pecan Treat-Bars that Go Great with a Cup of the Blesséd Brew Coffee!

For a Healthier Treat Choice


Here's an easy recipe for chocolate, pecan, and date, treat-bars that pair perfectly with a cup of The Blesséd Brew Chikka Coffee.  Naturally sweetened with dates, packed with pecans that are rich in healthy fats and antioxidants, and finished with a layer of luxurious dark chocolate, these bars are are the perfect comforting mood-booster for cold and dark January days and cosy winter afternoons.



Ingredients to Make Chocolate, Pecan, & Date Treat Bars


  • 100g pecans

  • 8 pitted dates (make sure there are no stones!) Soak the dates in a bit of warm water for a few minutes if they are a bit dry to make them nice and squiggy.

  • 2 tbs cocoa (or gut-boosting cocoa powder).

  • 60g good quality dark chocolate

  • 1 tsp (organic if you can) coconut oil


Method


  1. Reserve a few pecans for later and blitz the rest in a food processor until they form fine crumbs.

  2. Add the pitted dates and cocoa, and process to a sticky dough.

  3. Add to ice cream moulds, or just shape into circles if you prefer.

  4. Melt the dark chocolate with coconut oil in a Bain Marie and coat the pecan and date mixture. Decorate with whole the reserved pecans.

  5. Pop in the fridge for 10 minutes and then remove from the moulds.

  6. Enjoy with a cup of the Blesséd Brew Coffee!


Coffee Pairing


If you are looking for the perfect cup of The Blesséd Brew Coffee to enjoy these with, we recommend a cup of Chikka which has a smooth, comforting flavour with gentle nutty and chocolatey notes that sit beautifully alongside the richness of dark chocolate and the natural sweetness of dates.
