Instructions
Add all the dry ingredients into a bender first and blitz until smoother in texture.
One by one add the remaining ingredients and blitz after each addition.
The mixture is ready when it comes together in a clump when you squeeze it in your hand.
Tip mixture into a greased 8x8" square tin and press down firmly with a wet spatula.
Melt the chocolate in the microwave, careful not to over heat and burn.
Drizzle the chocolate over the mixture and smooth to the edges with the back of a metal spoon.
To decorate sprinkle some raw cacao nibs over the chocolate.
Pop in the fridge for at least 30mins to chill.
When chocolate has set, remove from fridge and cut into 16 equal squares
Keep stored in the fridge for up to two weeks...if they last that long.
Notes
As mentioned I used green raisins on this occasion but sultanas, raisins or even better currents would do to add a deeper flavour.
