Steps:
- Lightly warm all the ingredients.
- Mix all other ingredients together in a bowl except the honey, golden syrup, tahini and the LSA.
- Add the honey, syrup, tahini and mix well together.
- Add 1/3 cup of the LSA and as much more to 1/2 cup as required to bind the mixture together then spread onto a tray lined with baking paper.
- Spread evenly and allow to set (20 mins in the fridge should do it). Warming the honey/golden syrup a little enables them to combine more easily and the LSA helps to bind the mixture.
- Cut into bars and eat just as they are or coat in chocolate.
- Chocolate dip: Melt 400g chocolate in a bowl over a water bath until the temperature of the chocolate mass is 43C, remove from water bath & fold in the 200g grated chocolate which should lower temp to 35C as it melts. The chocolate is now tempered and ready to use.(There is a 2-3 degree C window of variation working with chocolate.).
- ***If your palate is more savoury try 3/4 cup tahini & ¾ cup of honey & omit the golden syrup.
