Salted Caramel and Hazelnut Slice
You can use 85% dark chocolate in replace of the homemade cacao chocolate if that’s easier for you. This makes it really creamy and rich and is equally as good.

- Oat Base
- 1 cup of raw nuts (I used cashews + almonds)
- 1 cup of Chantal Organics Quick Cooking Rolled Oats

Step 1.
In your food processor add all the ingredients for the oat base and blitz well until combined and sticky. Now line a baking dish with baking paper and press the oat base into the dish. Place in the fridge to harden.

Step 2.
While the base hardens its time to make the caramel layer. In your food processor add all the ingredients except for the hazelnuts. Blitz until smooth and creamy.

Step 4.
Now its time to make the chocolate. In a saucepan add all the ingredients and heat gently until everything has melted and combined. Pour over the top of the caramel and place in the fridge for 1-2 hours to set. Once everything is hard, you can take it out of the tray and carefully slice it.
