Chocolate Cashew Caramel Bars

We have been craving sweets for... uhm... awhile.

Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays are coming up, so we have been craving the autumn desserts, especially caramel.

I found this recipe and thought... why not? We need to satisfy our sweet tooth without dropping to our knees and wail "I want chocolate chip cookies! I want ice-cream!" At least, we can get something decent.

MEAT LOVER: OMG. These are dangerous! (gobbling)
GREENARIE: Too rich.

Chocolate Cashew Caramel Bars
makes 16 bars

1/2 cup butter or coconut oil
1/2 cup organic maple syrup
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk
3 cups cashews, soaked and dehydrated
3 Tbsp coconut oil
3/4-1 cup dark chocolate(70% Cacao)

1: In a pot, heat up the butter or oil, add maple syrup and milk, until the oil/butter melts, start boiling. Stir occasionally. Should be gentle boiling for about 15 minutes. This should look like caramel.
2: put cashews in blender, make flour.
3: Melt 2 Tablespoons of coconut oil, pour in cashew flour and blend for a minute.
4: Toss the cashew mix in a square baking pan and squash to a even layer.
5: Pour caramel mix over the cashews. It should even out. Put the pan in the refridgator for 20 minutes.
6: Melt chocolate and 1 Tablespoon of coconut oil slowly in a pot. When fully creamy, pour over the caramel, and softly spread out even. Return to fridge for another 40 minutes.
