Instructions
Chocolate Base
Melt the coconut oil in a bowl in the microwave, then add in the other ingredients for the chocolate base and mix well.
Pour the mixture into a tin (5 x 7) lined with parchment paper and then place in the freezer to chill for 10-15 minutes.
*At this point, you may want to soak your dates (for the caramel layer) in a bowl of warm water for 10-15 minutes to allow them to soften.
Nougat Center
Mix together the ingredients for the layer of nougat until well combined. If you're using oats, grind them first in a food processor or blender until you have a fine flour.
Pour the nougat layer over the chocolate base and return to the freezer.
Caramel layer
Remove your dates from the bowl of water and process all the ingredients for your caramel layer in a food processor or blender saving - I saved a few cashews and crushed them in a baggie so that I could sprinkle on top of this layer.
Spread the caramel mix over the nougat layer. Scatter some of your crushed nuts over the top and lightly press into the caramel.
Return the whole mixture to the freezer and allow to set for approximately 1 hour.
