Description

Imagine biting into a chocolate bar where rich, dark cocoa embraces a symphony of textures and wholesome ingredients. These bars offer a delightful contrast between the smooth, melt-in-your-mouth chocolate and the satisfying crunch of coarsely chopped nuts. The nuts, a medley of almonds, pecans, and walnuts, are gently toasted to a golden perfection, releasing their natural oils and enhancing their earthy flavors.

This baking process gives them a delightful crispness that complements the creamy chocolate beautifully. Coconut oil lends a subtle sweetness and velvety smoothness, enriching the overall experience. Butter adds a luscious depth, contributing to a melt-in-your-mouth sensation that lingers on the palate.

Each bite is an explosion of flavor, where the slight bitterness of the dark chocolate dances with the nutty warmth and the subtle hint of coconut. These chocolate bars aren't just a treat; they're a satisfying and nourishing indulgence. The combination of fats and nuts provides sustained energy, making them a perfect pick-me-up any time of day.

Whether you're starting your morning with a flavorful boost, satisfying an afternoon craving, or ending your evening with a guilt-free dessert, these bars are a versatile and delicious choice. Their substantial texture and rich flavor ensure that a small portion is incredibly satisfying. The interplay of textures, from the coarse nuts to the smooth chocolate, creates a sensory experience that keeps you coming back for more.

Perfect to keep on hand when you need a delightful and sustaining treat.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius) and line a loaf tin with baking paper, ensuring the paper extends over the edges for easy removal.
    2.
    In a food processor, combine flaked almonds, ground almonds, pecans, and filberts. Pulse several times until the mixture resembles a coarse crumb or oat-like consistency, being careful not to over-process into a butter.
    3.
    In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the butter, coconut oil, cocoa powder, erythritol, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir continuously until the fats are melted and the mixture forms a smooth, glossy chocolate sauce.
    4.
    Remove the saucepan from the heat. Pour the nut mixture into the chocolate sauce and stir thoroughly, ensuring all nuts are evenly coated with the chocolate mixture.
    5.
    Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf tin. Once slightly cooled, press firmly into an even layer using the back of a spoon or spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the bars are cooked through and the nuts are golden brown. Keep an eye on the edges to prevent burning.
    6.
    Allow the bars to cool completely in the loaf tin. Then, transfer the tin to the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the bars to set firmly. Once set, lift the bars out using the baking paper overhang and slice into 6 individual bars to serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
