How to Prepare Raw Chocolate Caramel Bar [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

To Make the Base:

  1. Add all ingredients to a food processor and pulse until a dough forms. If it is too sticky, add some extra oats.
  2. Once ready, press base into a 9×9-inch square pan and place in the refrigerator to harden.

  2. Once caramel is smooth and well-blended, spread evenly on top of almond base and return to the refrigerator.

To Make the Chocolate:

  1. In a saucepan, over medium heat, add coconut oil, cacao, and maple syrup, and whisk constantly until smooth and melted.
  2. Pour over caramel layer, smoothing gently to create an even coat, and return to the refrigerator.

To Assemble:
