Created by my daughter who makes sure there is a constant supply of these delicious morsels in the freezer (and yes, eating straight from the freezer is the best way to have them).

Her recipe was inspired by both Donna Hayes Coconut Caramel Slice and Merrymaker Sisters Paleo Salted Choc-Caramel Slice which she tweaked, added and tasted until she got it just right for her tastebuds.

If you’re looking for more recipe inspiration take a look at my popular ebook, Easy Wholefood Lunchboxes.
