Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams dark chocolate
- 100 grams honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 150 grams rolled oats
- 150 grams chopped nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, and cashews)
- 50 grams dried cranberries
- 1 pinch sea salt
Instructions
1. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring excess paper hangs over the edges for easy removal.
2. In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, add the dark chocolate and stir continuously until completely smooth and melted.
3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the honey and vanilla extract until fully combined.
4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped nuts, dried cranberries, and a pinch of sea salt.
5. Pour the chocolate mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is well coated and evenly mixed.
6. Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan, pressing down firmly with a spatula to create an even, compact layer.
7. Refrigerate the chocolate nut bars for at least 2 hours, or until they are firm and set.
8. Once set, lift the bars out of the pan using the overhanging parchment paper. Place on a cutting board and cut into 12 equal-sized bars.
9. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or in the fridge for longer freshness.
