Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Spread the almonds and walnuts evenly on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for about 8-10 minutes until golden and aromatic. Let them cool slightly, then roughly chop them.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Stir in the almond butter and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped nuts, shredded coconut, salt, and stevia or erythritol. Pour the almond butter mixture over the nut mixture and stir until everything is well coated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan and press it down evenly using a spatula or your hands to create a compact layer.
In a microwave-safe bowl or a double boiler, melt the dark chocolate until it is smooth. Spread the melted chocolate over the nut mixture, gently smoothing the surface with a spatula.
Refrigerate the mixture for at least an hour until it sets completely.
Once set, remove it from the pan, and cut into 12 equal bars.
Store these bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
