Instructions
Prepare 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.
Note
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.
