Ingredients

 For the brownies:  


   250g of pitted dates  

   80g of cashews  

   40g of pretzels (GF if needed)  

   140g of cashew or almond butter  

   1 tsp of vanilla  

   30g of cacao powder  

   A pinch of salt  

 



  

 For The Chocolate Ganache:  


   60g of cashew or almond butter  

   15g of maple syrup  

   10g of cacao powder  

   2 tbsps of plant-based milk  

 



  

 For The Pretzel Reindeers:  


   9 pretzels  

   15g of chocolate, melted  

   9 Chocolate Raspberry Brownie Protein Balls  

   Googly eyes (or more protein balls, chopped)  

   Edible stars  

   Extra pretzels  

 



  

 



Method

 Step 1 

Soak the dates in boiling water for 10 minutes and then drain, reserving 1-2 tbsps of the water.



 Step 2 

Blitz the cashews and pretzels in a blender to form a fine flour with small chunks then pour into a bowl.



 Step 3 

Add the dates to the blender with the cashew/almond butter and vanilla and process until jammy. Add in the cashews and pretzels, cacao powder and salt and blitz until it forms a sticky dough. Scrape down the sides as necessary and add 1-2 tbsp of reserved date water if needed.



 Step 4 

Line an 8-inch square dish with parchment paper. Transfer the sticky brownie mix to the dish and press down firmly to form an even base layer. Transfer to the freezer for 30-60 minutes.



 Step 5 

Meanwhile, make the pretzel reindeer. Spoon over a little chocolate in the middle of the pretzel and add on the protein balls for the nose and then the eyes (or use extra protein balls chopped in 1/4). Place on a parchment lined tray and set in the fridge for 20 minutes.



 Step 6 

Make the chocolate ganache by whisking or stirring together all the ingredients until smooth and creamy.



 Step 7 

Spread the chocolate ganache over the brownies, chop into 9 squares and decorate with extra pretzels, some edible stars and the pretzel reindeer.
