No bake Chocolate Hazelnut squares
Boy do I have a tasty treat for you guys today. These simple hazelnut bars are the perfect meal prep energy snack or an ideal treat for friends calling over. I have created this recipe in collaboration with innocent using their new dairy free hazelnut drink which has ONLY 4 ingredients; hazelnuts, rice, spring water and a pinch of sea salt- not an additive in sight. The drink is natural lactose free and cholesterol free, for me itβs the perfect plant based drink for making hot chocolates and treats like this one. The recipe is pretty much an all in one mix using a food processor, I have a large high speed processor but if you have a small processor I would recommend breaking up the mix into 2 batches not to add too much pressure on your machine. Enjoy this tasty recipe and don’t forget to tag me in your recreations π
