Ingredients

4 piece rice cakes
5 1/2 tbsp almond butter
5.5 piece dates
a splash maple syrup
5 3/10 oz dark chocolate
a handful roasted almonds
a pinch sea salt flakes

Instructions

1
Place the rice cakes in a large mixing bowl and crush them with your hands or a rolling pin until they break into small, coarse pieces.
2
Pit the dates if necessary, then cut them into small dice; set aside.
3
Add the chopped dates, almond butter, and a splash of maple syrup (or honey) to the crushed rice cakes.
4
Stir the mixture thoroughly until it becomes a cohesive, sticky mass; if it feels too dry, add an extra drizzle of maple syrup or a little more almond butter and mix again.
5
Line a small loaf or baking pan (about 8×4 inches) with parchment paper, allowing excess paper to hang over the sides for easy removal.
6
Transfer the sticky rice‑cake mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly and pressing firmly with the back of a spoon or a flat spatula to create a compact base.
7
Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to let the base set.
8
While the base chills, melt the dark chocolate in a heat‑proof bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler) or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring until smooth.
9
Toast the roasted almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes, shaking the pan frequently, until they turn golden and fragrant; then chop them coarsely.
10
Stir the chopped toasted almonds into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
11
Remove the chilled base from the refrigerator and pour the chocolate‑almond mixture over it, spreading it into an even layer with a spatula.
12
Immediately sprinkle a pinch of sea‑salt flakes over the chocolate topping for a salty contrast.
13
Return the pan to the refrigerator and chill for at least 20 minutes, or place it in the freezer for 5–7 minutes if you need a quicker set.
14
When fully set, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment overhang, place on a cutting board, and cut into six equal portions.
15
Serve immediately or store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
