- Firstly, prepare raspberry chia jam. To prepare raspberry chia jam, combine all ingredients except chia seeds in a saucepan and place over medium heat. Leave to simmer for approximately 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Set aside and allow to cool. Once cooled, add chia seeds and place in the fridge while you prepare the base.
- Combine all ingredients for the base in a high-power blender, blend until smooth. Press the base into a greased and lined square or rectangular baking tray and place in the fridge while you make the peanut caramel layer.
- Combine all peanut caramel ingredients in a high-power blender and blend until smooth. Scoop the peanut caramel on top of the base, spreading evenly.
- Spread the raspberry chia jam on top of the peanut caramel and place in the freezer for 1-2 hours.
- Using a sharp knife, slice into approx. 15 even pieces.
- Melt the chocolate using a double saucepan and then transfer it to a shallow bowl.
- Allow the chocolate to cool slightly and then dip each individual bar into the chocolate until fully covered. Place a sheet of baking paper on a plate to transfer the chocolate-covered bars.
