Instructions

To make the crust :
1. Process the walnuts, the hazelnuts and the peanuts in a mixer until finely chopped. Add the dates and mix until the composition starts to hold together when squeezed (add some dates water if needed).
2. Press the mixture into the bottom of a mold lined with parchment paper and set aside.

To make the caramel filling:
1. Let the dates soak for 10-15 min .
2. Melt the coconut oil in a bain-marie.
3. Combine all ingredients in a food processor, adding some dates water and mix until everything is smooth and homogenous. You have to get a creamy consistency.
4. Pour the cream over the crust, smoothing out then put it in the fridge.

To make the chocolate filling :
1. Melt the coconut oil in a bain-marie.
2. In a blender, mix together the avocado, the honey, the coconut oil and the cacao powder until smooth.

Take the composition out of the fridge, unmold it and cut it in small bars(8cm x 2cm). Cover the caramel filling with the peanuts then cover the bars completely with the chocolate filling. Place it in the frigo for several hours/one night to let it stiff.
