Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 1.5 cups crushed graham crackers
- 0.5 cup salted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup honey
- 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 0.5 teaspoon flaky sea salt
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers and raw cashews. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, then stir in granulated sugar and honey. Cook while stirring frequently for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is fully combined and begins to bubble slightly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet mixture over the graham cracker and cashew mixture in the bowl. Stir well until everything is evenly coated.
Press the mixture firmly into the prepared baking dish to create an even layer. Use the back of a spoon or your hands (lightly greased) to flatten it.
Melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl by microwaving in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the pressed mixture in the baking dish. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the bars are firm and the chocolate is set.
Once chilled, remove from the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Use a sharp knife to cut into 12 bars.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
