Directions

Preheat oven to 180°C and line a medium-sized tin with baking paper Put all base ingredients into a food processor and blitz until a crumble has formed. Pour and press into your baking tin evenly. Bake in the oven for 8 mins until lightly golden on top. Remove from the oven and place into the freezer while you make the caramel. Drain your dates and put them into the food processor.
