1 tbsp maple syrup
90g bar of 85% dark chocolate – I love Green & Blacks

METHOD
In a blender, combine chickpeas, dates, cacao powder, almond butter, maple syrup, salt, and melted chocolate until smooth.
Press into a loaf tin and freeze.
Cut into 16 bite-sized squares and dip into melted chocolate (if you want a thicker chocolate layer, use a second bar - chill between each dip). Also, if you like the ripple effect drizzle with milk chocolate.
Sprinkle with sea salt
Chill again and enjoy!
