Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1.5 cups crushed graham crackers
- 1 cup raisins
- 0.5 cup chopped roasted almonds
- 0.5 cup chopped roasted cashews
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang for easy removal, and set it aside.
In a heatproof bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and unsalted butter. Melt them together using a double boiler or in the microwave in 20-second increments, stirring well after each interval until smooth.
Once the chocolate is fully melted, stir in the honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until well incorporated.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, raisins, chopped roasted almonds, and chopped roasted cashews.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the dry ingredients in the bowl and stir vigorously until everything is evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan and press it down firmly using the back of a spatula or your hands (if slightly dampened). Make sure it’s packed tightly and leveled.
Refrigerate the pan for at least 2 hours or until the bars are fully set.
Once set, remove the mixture from the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Place it on a cutting board and slice it into 12 evenly sized bars.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
