Peanut Crackle Base
  1. Grease and line the base and sides of a 20cm square cake tin, leaving a 5cm overhang on two of the sides.

  3. Process dates and maple syrup in a food processor until nearly smooth. Place into a large mixing bowl and add the Copha mixture, stir well to combine.
  4. Add puffed rice and coconut and stir until well combined. Spoon into prepared tin and flatten using the back of a spoon. Freeze for 10 minutes.
Chocolate Peanut Topping

  2. Pour over slice. Scatter with peanuts. Refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours or until firm and slice into squares.
Tips & Hints:
  • Brown rice puffs can be purchased from the health food aisle of most large supermarkets or from your local health food shop. Alternatively, substitute with Rice Bubbles.
  • This can be made 2 days in advance. Cover and refrigerate.
  • Store in refrigerator in an airtight container for 3-4 days or freeze for 1 month.
  • Garnish with any finely crushed nut of choice. For a twist, add roasted salted peanuts to the top.
  • For a peanut-free version, substitute peanut butter with any nut butter of choice.
