Ingredients
  

Crust

  • 1 Cup Raw Buckwheat Groats
  • 1/2 Cup Walnuts
  • 1/2 Cup Dates pitted
  • 2 Tbs Raw Agave

Caramel

  • 1 Cup Dates pitted, covered in warm water
  • 1 Cup Dates pitted, set aside
  • 1/4 Tsp Vanilla Extract

Mocha

  • 1/3 Cup Raw Coconut Oil melted
  • 1/4 Cup Raw Agave
  • 3 Tbs Raw Cacao Powder
  • 1/2 Tbs Espresso Powder

Instructions
 

Crust

  • Add buckwheat and walnuts to the food processor and process until a semi-fine meal is formed.
  • Then, add in dates and agave, and process until a sticky dough is formed.
  • In a small pan lined with parchment paper (I used a bread loaf pan), press crust down evenly.

Caramel

  • Add dates to your 1-cup measuring cup, and cover them with warm water until just covered. Pour the whole thing into the food processor.
  • Add the second cup of dates to the food processor. Do not cover these with water!
  • Then, add in the vanilla extract and process until a smooth caramel is formed.
  • Pour caramel into pan over the crust and smooth into an even layer.

Mocha

  • In a bowl, combine melted coconut oil, agave, cacao and espresso powder. Pour mocha layer into the pan over the caramel layer.

Putting it All Together

  • Put mocha caramel slices into the freezer for 2 hours to set. Cut into slices and serve. Note - the caramel doesn't harden entirely, so use your sharpest knife to cut them (just be careful!).
  • Mocha caramel slices can be kept in the refrigerator for one week.
