How to:
1. Drain and rinse the chickpeas well. Leave to drain while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
2. Put the nuts into a food processor/blender until they are chopped into small chunks. Then remove and put aside.
3. Next, place the chickpeas, maple syrup, peanut butter & flavourings in the food processor and blend until smooth.
4. Finally, fold in the chopped nuts and chocolate chips.

I love this recipe. They're perfect with a cuppa, a cosy blanket and a good book to read. They're perfect as a little after dinner snack, although it is hard to stop at just one. They're insanely more-ish. The mix of hazelnut, mixed spice and chopped nuts make them perfect for autumn.

I thought i'd share with you my recent purchases i picked up whilst in Edinburgh for the day which, resulted in my arm nearly falling off as i rushed to the train station. It wasn't a good look. But, i adore shopping in Edinburgh. It always ends with me spending far too much money...
