A delicious no-bake Vegan Peanut Butter Slice made with Desiccated Coconut, Peanut Butter, Dark Chocolate and other good-for-you ingredients! #easy #vegan #peanutbutter #bars #slice #natural #healthy #dessert #raw #quick #chocolate #coconutI’ve been all about making no-bake treats recently, not because it’s Summer or anything (if anything we’re dead in the middle of Winter here in the land down under), but simply because I am a lazy shit. No other excuses necessary. Today I bring with me in my little box of treats, this Healthy Vegan Peanut Butter Slice recipe. I have a recipe for another no-bake Peanut Butter slice here, one that is a little less healthy but equally as delicious. Check that one out if you’re not about dat healthy life.

I make the base for this slice with some Desiccated Coconut, Agave Nectar, Cacao Powder, Peanuts and Peanut Butter. You simply whizz everything up in a food processor and then press into the bottom of a lined 6 inch square tin. Easy!

This one’s just as easy as the base – melt up some Peanut Butter, Coconut Oil, Agave Nectar, Sea Salt and there you have it, an instant peanut butter filling that is rather reminiscent of a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. Once you layer that onto the base, chill for an hour or two before preparing the Chocolate Topping. All that you have to do to prepare the luscious crowning to this Vegan Peanut Butter Slice is melt up some Dark Chocolate with a touch of Agave, Sea Salt, Instant Espresso, Coconut Oil and a dash of Peanut Butter because why the heck not!

      Delicious? Yes! Healthy? What??? Healthy is a banana. Not this. Don’t try to make something look for what it’s not. Delicious! But not healthy.

        It's a lot better than eating a sleeve of oreos, macro-nutritionally :) raw desserts are also so rich that people can only have a very small portion.
