Chocolate and Mixed Nut Bars
With a topping of dark chocolate and a sprinkle of flaky salt, they’re the perfect balance of sweet and savory, making them a satisfying and nutritious treat. Plus, you don't have to bake them!
Instructions
9 stepsPrepare the Nut Base
In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut flour, syrup, and melted coconut oil, stirring until fully combined.
Add the mixed nuts to the coconut mixture and stir until the nuts are evenly coated.
Form and Cut the Bars
Press the mixture firmly into a square or rectangular frame or pan (about 8x8 inches) lined with parchment paper.
Place in the refrigerator to chill for about 30 minutes, until the mixture firms up, and then cut into bars.
Add the Chocolate Topping
Melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double-boiler until smooth.
Dip the bars into the chocolate and coat the top evenly. It might work best if you spear the bars with some wooden skewers before dipping.
Sprinkle flaky salt on top for extra flavor.
Chill and Serve
Return the contents to the fridge and chill for an additional 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has set.
Once set, bars you are ready to serve.
Recipe Notes
A double-boiler is simply a pot containing simmering water that has another bowl that is situated on top of the pot with the boiling water that contains your ingredients. This “double-boiler” cooking method allows the contents in the bowl on the top to cook more slowly, at a lower temperature than they would if they were exposed directly to the heat source.
