This healthy raw chocolate slice is such a great treat to have on hand to satisfy those sweet cravings.
If you love bliss balls but hate the task of rolling them all up then this healthy raw chocolate slice is for you. It only takes around 10 minutes to make and it is the perfect healthy treat to have on hand. For another epic raw date treat, why not try my Date and Chocolate Bark.
In this recipe I have used cashews, coconut cream, dates, cocoa powder, coconut and then topped it with a layer of dark chocolate. The chocolate topping is optional and it will still set into nice squares if you don't use it.
To make this slice you just throw all of the ingredients into a food processor and pulse until it forms a thick paste. If the mixture is too thick add a teaspoon of water and if it seems to thin then add extra rolled oats.
Pour the mixture into a lined tray and push it out to the sides with a metal spoon. Smooth the top then spread over the melted dark chocolate. Pop the tray into the fridge to set the slice.
Once the healthy raw chocolate slice is set then cut it into squares. I like to keep mine in an airtight container in the fridge where it will last for a few weeks (unless you eat it all straight away). My young kids love this slice too. If you prefer bliss balls then you can make the same recipe and roll it into balls.

Is there an alternative for the coconut cream?
Vanya says
I have not tried it with anything else sorry, the coconut cream binds it all together once it is chilled.
Amanda says
Delicious and easy to make.
Second batch made this week! Yes it's that good.....
VJ cooks says
I'm so happy to hear that! Thanks for the feedback, Amanda 🙂
Hannah says
This slice is delicious! I substituted the cashews for roasted hazelnuts and almonds as that is what I had on hand. Loved how it turned out!
VJ cooks says
That's awesome! Yes the nuts are interchangeable. Glad you enjoyed it.
kristin says
When rolled into bliss balls will they keep in the freezer well? I would like to make them in Advance for my daughter birthday party.
VJ cooks says
Yes they will. Simply freeze them on a tray, separated. Then after an hour you could place them in a zip lock bag or airtight container.
Rose Bartlett says
Hi , do you use roasted or raw nuts?
Thanks Rose
VJ cooks says
Hi Rose, I've used both over the years and either will work. It's more of a personal preference. I hope that helps.
Barbara says
Hi, I’m not that keen on dates, is there an alternative I could use instead?
VJ cooks says
Here are some bliss ball recipes that use other dried fruit as a base. You could make either or these as a slice instead of rolling them into balls.https://vjcooks.com/cranberry-bliss-balls/ https://vjcooks.com/apricot-bliss-balls/
Bex says
I have date paste, how much would I use instead of a cup of whole dates?
VJ cooks says
I don't think that would work as a substitute sorry. Date paste is made from dates and water, but there is no water in this recipe therefore it would be too wet.
Tina says
Delicious… especially for someone who is fasting and cutting back on “Poison… “ oops sorry , I mean sugar… it is soooo good
Jan S says
Another winner Vanya! and so easy. Nice to enjoy a healthy treat, thank you so much.
VJ cooks says

Kirby says
This slice is fabulous!!! It turned out perfectly! Very satisfying as an after dinner treat for those sweet cravings.
I’ll be making another batch! Thanks so much
VJ cooks says
Awesome, thanks Kirby.
Kate says
Is it fresh coconut or dessicated coconut you use in this recipe?
VJ cooks says
Desiccated coconut 🙂
Sophia says
Sounds like a great slice, what else could i sub for the nuts . as in nut free? Plus could coconut milk be used for the cream , or not ? Thanks
VJ cooks says
You could use sunflower seeds in place of the cashews. IF using coconut milk instead of coconut cream I would reduce the amount to start with, then add in more if required.
