1 egg 

1/8 tsp salt 

1/8 tsp pepper

Rice cauliflower in food processor. (see image below)

Let cool enough to handle and place in linen cloth or cheese cloth and squeeze as much liquid out as possible,  I mean really squeeze it. Get some help squeezing if you need it.  


Place back in bowl and mix in all other ingredients. 

Place on parchment lined pan and press into a even circle. Push up sides to make a crust. 

Spray with cooking oil.

No-Bake S'mores Bites








Makes ~ 8-10 bites

Paleo + Gluten Free

Ingredients

Crumble 
1 1/2 cup oat flour, regular oats can be blended into a flour (GF if needed) 
3 tbs nut butter, I used natural peanut 
10 dates, chopped 
1/2 tsp salt
3 tsp maple syrup 
1/4 cup milk of choice, I used almond milk ,unsweetened 

Chocolate Coating 
6 oz of chocolate 
1 tbs coconut oil 

8 Large Marshmallows 


Directions 

In a food processor, process all but the milk ingredients together until it makes a crumble. Slowly add in milk and pulse until the crumble starts to stick together.You should be able to grab some and form it into a ball and it doesn't fall apart. 

Dump mixture on to parchment paper. Grab a golf ball sized amount of mixture and roll into a ball. Then flatten ball with your hand to be about 1/2 inch thick. Square sides. 
Alternatively, you could roll out the mixture under two pieces of parchment paper and cut out squares the same width of the marshmallow lying on its side.  
 
Place marshmallows on top, lying them on their side. I found if I pressed the marshmallow into the mixture it would stick better. 

Heat chocolate and coconut oil together. Either double broiler method or microwave--30 seconds at a time, until melted. 

Spoon chocolate over the prepped marshmallow/crumble bites and let drip on a cooling rack for a minute or two. 

Place in freezer for 20 min, until chocolate is hardened. 

Store in a sealed container in the fridge. 

Enjoy!
