Servings: 12 slices
INGREDIENTS
- 225 g Dried Pitted Dates (chopped)
- 115 g Caster Sugar
- 115 g Block Margarine or Butter
- 115 g Rice Krispies
- 150 g Milk Chocolate
EQUIPMENT
INSTRUCTIONS
- Line a 20×20cm (8×8 inch) baking tin with
baking tray . Set aside. - In a large pan, warm the dates, sugar and butter/margarine over a low-medium heat. Mix continuously until the dates have softened, the sugar has dissolved, and the mixture starts to come together. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then remove the pan from the heat.
- Stir in the rice crispies. Working quickly so the mixture doesn't begin to set, transfer to the pre-lined tin, press flat and into the corners.
- Melt the milk chocolate over a bain-marie, or in short bursts in a microwave. Pour over the rice crispy base and spread into the corners.
- Leave your date slice to cool a little before transferring it to the fridge to set. Allow it to set for 2 hours, or ideally overnight, before slicing to your desired size.
Don't worry if the butter/margarine appears oily and separate from the rest of the date mixture - some kinds of butter/margarine have this effect, some don't. It will come together once you add the rice crispies.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
All my recipes are developed using a digital scale and the metric system (grams and millilitres). Cup measurements are available as a conversion but these, unfortunately, won't always be as accurate. For best results, I always recommend baking with a digital scale.
RECIPE NOTES:
Substitutions:
