Recipe type: Sweet Treats
Serves: 10-12
Ingredients
  • 125gm dark chocolate (at least 70%) or sugar free chocolate (I used Well Naturally Rich Dark)
  • 1 t coconut oil (I used Tanna Farms, see below for a special discounted offer)
  • 2 T almond butter (I used Poppy and Olive)
  • 2 T hazelnut butter (I used Poppy and Olive)
  • slivered almonds
  • silicon moulds
Instructions
  1. Heat some water in a medium sized pot over a medium heat until simmering. Turn down to low. Place the dark chocolate in a smaller pot and place over the simmering water and stir until melted. Add the coconut oil and stir until melted and smooth.
  2. Using your moulds, half fill each mould with chocolate, pour ½ teaspoon of nut butter into each one (varying the flavours as you go). Carefully place a layer of slivered almonds over the top of the nut butter and chocolate and then fill to the top with melted chocolate. Repeat using the rest of the ingredients. Place in the freezer to set for at least an hour or overnight.
Note: To try the 100% virgin organic coconut oil from Tanna Farms used in the recipe, head to www.tannafarms.co.nz and use the code 'wickedoil' on checkout and enjoy a 20% discount off your total order.
You can find the Well Naturally Sugar free chocolate at most leading supermarkets.
Most leading health food stores and some New Worlds stock the Poppy and Olive Nut Butters.
