Mars Bar Bites

By So Beautifully Raw, Sam Murphy

Mars Bars – the naughty treat that generally leaves us feeling low after the sugar rush has subsided. Lucky for us, Sam from So Beautifully Raw has created a Mars Bar recipe using natural ingredients, without the refined sugar! They taste amazing too.

Ingredients
Method

For the Nougat
1 + ½ cups Raw Cashews
1 cup Coconut Flour
½ cup Filtered Water (+ more when needed)
1 tbsp Coconut Butter, melted
2-3 tbsp Rice Malt Syrup
pinch of salt
For The Caramel
1 + ½ cups Medjool Dates, pitted + soaked
½ cup Maple Syrup
2 tbsp Almond Butter
⅔ cup Loving Earth Coconut Oil, melted
½ tsp Salt
1 tsp Vanilla Bean Paste
For the chocolate coating
1 cup Loving Earth Cacao Powder
¾ cup Loving Earth Cacao Butter, melted
⅓ cup (80ml) Maple Syrup
¼ tsp salt

Step 1Make the nougat by first blending the raw cashews and coconut flour in a high powered blender until a fine flour forms. Transfer to a blow and add coconut butter, rice malt syrup and water and mix until a soft dough forms. Transfer to a lined loaf tin and freeze.
Step 2To make the caramel, blend dates, maple syrup, almond butter, salt and vanilla in a food processor until creamy. Add the coconut oil last and blend until smooth. Spread over the nougat and freeze the whole slice overnight.
Step 3Prepare the chocolate by whisking the ingredients together until no lumps remain.
Step 4Remove the slice from the freezer. Using a sharp knife, slice into bite sized chunks – or your desired bar size.
Step 5Dip each bar twice in chocolate, transfer to a cooling/drying rack and keep in the fridge until you are ready to eat.
