Healthy Chocolate Slice Recipe

There's a moment in every person's week where you just need something sweet, something that feels like a treat, but doesn't come with the guilt, the crash, or the ingredient list you can't pronounce.

That's exactly why we love this healthy chocolate slice recipe. 

Dates. Walnuts. Dark chocolate. A handful of pantry staples you've probably already got in the cupboard (or can grab in bulk from us - no plastic required). That's it. No refined sugar, no long bake time, no fuss. Just real food, blitzed, pressed and chilled into something genuinely delicious.

Whether it's a lunchbox filler, a naturally sugar-free afternoon snack, or a "just because" treat for the family, this date and walnut chocolate slice is a keeper and it ticks the box for anyone after a gluten-free chocolate slice that doesn't compromise on flavour.

Our Tips for the Best Wholefood Chocolate Slice
Grab your organic walnuts, pitted dates, cacao powder and organic dark chocolate drops from our bulk bins in-store at Buddina, bring your own containers and only buy what you need for this batch (less waste, less spend).
Swap the peanut butter for almond or cashew butter if that's what you've got on hand.
Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to a week, if it lasts that long.
