Date, Chocolate & Nuts Roll
This sweet snack is one of my childhood favorites! My mom used to make it all the time. Dates and chocolate are such a good combination. The nuts add the perfect salty crunch that balances the sweetness of the date/chocolate mixture. It is the best guilt free snack of all times!
Ingredients
1 package of baking pitted dates 13 oz/375g
1 package of semi sweet chocolate 5oz
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons almond milk
1/3 cup roasted walnuts
1/3 cup roasted pistachios
1/3 cup roasted hazelnuts
1/3 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
Topping:
1/3 cup raw sesame seeds
Directions:
In a saucepan add all the ingredients except the nuts.
Stir constantly on low heat until combined and smooth.
Add the nuts and stir.
Take an aluminum foil and cut about 3 sheets of a paired dish size. Sprinkle sesame seeds on the foil. Then divide the date/chocolate mixture into 3 pieces. Place each one on the foil and roll into a 1" diameter approximately. Make sure it's all covered with the sesame, and press tightly. Freeze the rolls for a few hours- preferred overnight, or until completely hardened. Then thinly slice bite size pieces. Store in an air tight container in the freezer, and serve when desire.
