These might be more to your taste Hanneke? Chickpea, date and cashew bites 400g tin chickpeas, drained and liquid reserved 75g/2½oz porridge oats 200g/7oz dates, chopped 150g/5½oz roasted cashews 1 tbsp vanilla extract 50g/1¾oz dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids), roughly chopped Line a 20cm/8in square loose-bottomed cake tin with baking paper. Tip the drained chickpeas and the oats into a food processor, including a tablespoon of the reserved liquid. (This will help the bar stick together.) Blend until the mixture is a rough paste. Add the dates, cashews and vanilla extract and blend until the nuts and dates are finely chopped. (You may need to work in two batches if you have a small-ish food processor.) The mixture shouldn't be too smooth or it will be very sticky. Add more chickpea liquid if needed. Press into the lined tin with your hands so that you have a thick, even layer. Tip the chocolate into a heatproof bowl and microwave on high for 1½ minutes. Check to see if the chocolate has melted. If not, return to the microwave for another 30 seconds and repeat until the chocolate has melted. (Alternatively, place the bowl over a pan of simmering water to melt the chocolate, making sure that the bowl doesn’t touch the water.) Drizzle the chocolate over the top then leave to set in the refrigerator for an hour. Remove from the tin, cut into squares and serve. |

I like the sound of those too! Maybe they could also be done as little balls, rolled in chopped chocolate or hazelnuts, if they're sticky enough for the coating to stay on. And with the rest of the aqua faba you could make some amaretti: theguardian.com |

My son is planning something very similar as he has to take something baked to scouts on Monday for a Christmas bake off competition.
