Instructions
With Mold
  1. Start by melting your chocolate in a bain marie (a bowl over a gently simmering pan of water). Once melted, line the inside of your mould with chocolate. You may need to do two layers of chocolate to cover it. Set aside to set.
  2. Make caramel by adding dates, coconut oil, vanilla and almond butter to a food processor and blending until smooth. If it's too thick, add water a tbsp at a time until gooey.
  3. Spoon dollops of caramel into chocolate moulds, filling half way up. Set aside in the fridge and wash out food processor.
  4. Add cashews, almonds and sea salt to food processor and blend until it resembles a fine crumb.
  5. Add the coconut oil a tbsp at a time, pulsing in between. The mixture should stick together when pressed between your fingers.
  6. Press the biscuit base on top of the caramel layers in the mould, filling up to the top. Cover the top of the bars with a final layer of chocolate and set aside in the fridge to set.
  7. Pop out the moulds and sprinkle with sea salt before serving.
