Minty Black Bottom Choc Slice
When you feel like something a little bit naughty but with less guilt, turn to raw treats. Just don't think you can eat MORE because they are raw.
Remember the good ole mint chocolate slice that your mum used to make? Well this is an updated and raw version that is just as good, if not better. And the benefit of raw is that except for the soaking, you can be munching on this in a very short space of time. (Actually, on second thought, that may not be a benefit!)
Soaking the nuts helps with texture and digestibility, and also removes some of the nutrient inhibitors. Now you know. Texture is enough reason for me.
Enjoy your raw treat that doesn't taste like dates for a change!
