You guys have requested to see more vegan “macro-friendly” recipes so I’m going to try and incorporate them more in my creations. Personally I don’t track my macros but I do enjoy the challenge of making a treat “macro-friendly”… like this FIT MARS CARAMEL SLICE that I’ve been using on my proats!
Here is the recipe:

Ingredients
- Base:

- ✅80g non-dairy chocolate

Instructions
- 1. Line a small container with non-stick paper (mine was ~ 12 x 12 cm)
- 2. Make the BASE: Combine the base ingredients, mix until a cookie dough consistency. Transfer into the prepared container as an even layer
- 3. Make the CARAMEL: add the dates & water to a food processor or high speed blender & blend until a paste forms. Add in rest of the ingredients, blend until smooth & thick. Spread the caramel evenly on top of the base. Put into the freezer to set for at least 2 hours
