Preparation:

1. Place all the ingredients of the base into a food processor and blend it until you get nice bread crumbs.

2. In a baking pan put some parchment paper and firmly press he mixture into the pan, levelling it with a spoon. Try to create an even square, so you can can it later in bars. Put it in the fridge.

3. For the caramel, combine all the ingredients in a food processor and pour the caramel over the base and freeze for about 30 minutes.

4. To make the glaze, put a pan over a very low heat and melt the chocolate and the coconut oil.

6. Freeze for another hour and then cut into bars.

7. You can store it in the refrigerator for about 2 weeks.
