High-fibre, chickpea-and-bean based vegan Twix-style bars with rice-cake base, date caramel and dark chocolate topping.
Add the chickpeas, crushed rice cakes, 4 pitted dates, banana, vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to a food processor. Blend until a sticky dough forms, scraping down the sides as needed.
Line a small rectangular container or loaf tin with baking paper. Press the base mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom to form the base layer.
In the cleaned food processor, add the cannellini beans, 6 pitted dates and a pinch of salt. Blend until completely smooth and creamy to form the caramel layer.
Spread the bean-and-date caramel evenly over the base layer, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Melt the dark chocolate gently (microwave in short bursts or over a bain-marie) and pour it over the caramel layer. Tilt the tin so the chocolate covers the top evenly, then finish with a tiny pinch of salt.
Place the tin in the freezer for 2–3 hours until firm. Once set, remove, slice into 10 bars and store in the fridge or freezer.
