Chocolate Crackle Slice

This chocolate crackle slice is a healthy alternative to the traditional version you most likely ate as a kid. With the holidays in mind (is it really December already!?), I added a few cranberries and pistachios to the recipe to give it a slight festive vibe. Unlike the kiddie version, you may remember this one is naturally gluten-free and made from all beautiful wholefood ingredients.

Ingredients

• 2 cups puffed rice or puffed buckwheat
• 1 cup shredded coconut
• 1/4 cup cranberries
• 1/4 cup pistachios
• 1/4 cup cashews
• 1/2 cup cacao powder
• 1/4 cup coconut oil
• 1/4 cup coconut cream
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp. maple syrup

Method

1. Place cashews, cacao powder, coconut oil, coconut cream, vanilla, and maple syrup in a high-speed blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
2. Stir through cranberries, pistachios, shredded coconut, and puffed rice/buckwheat
3. Evenly spread over a small lined baking dish and allow to set in the freezer for a few hours.
