This is a delicious petit four using not too much sugar. Easy to make and it keeps for up to a week in the refrigerator.
Ingredients:
- 125g plain dark chocolate chopped
- 90g stoned dates, finely chopped
- 60g pecans finely chopped
- 90g caster sugar
- 90g butter
- 30g rice breakfast cereal
- 45g coconut
Step by step:
1. Line a 27cm x 18cm tin with greased, grease proof paper, or greased tinfoil.
2. Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, stir until smooth and spread over the greaseproof paper or tin foil and leave to partially set.
3. Heat the dates, nuts, sugar and butter in a small saucepan until the butter is hot, stirring occasionally. Then combine the rice cereal and coconut in a large bowl, stir in the date mixture and mix well.
4. Spread the mixture on the partially set chocolate base. Spread and flatten the mixture firmly so it holds together.
5. Chill until set. Invert and remove the greaseproof paper or tin foil, then invert again so the rice topping is uppermost. Cut what is needed into strips. Cover and store the remainder in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
