Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup mixed nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, pecans) Chopped into smaller pieces if desired.
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips Can substitute with milk chocolate if preferred.
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup For sweetness.
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by measuring out all your ingredients. Chop the mixed nuts into smaller pieces if desired for easier munching later.
  2. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and heat them in short intervals, about 20-30 seconds at a time, mixing in between until smooth.
  3. Mix Everything Together: In a large bowl, combine the chopped nuts, rolled oats, and sea salt. Pour in the melted chocolate, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until everything is well combined and coated in chocolate.
  4. Line Your Baking Dish: Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal later.
  5. Press the Mixture: Pour the nut and chocolate mixture into the prepared dish. Use a spatula to evenly spread and press the mixture down firmly, so it holds together once set.
  6. Chill the Bars: Place the dish into the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes or until set.
  7. Slice and Serve: Once cooled, lift the bars out using the parchment overhang and cut them into squares or rectangles. Enjoy your delicious Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Nut Bars!

Notes

To maintain freshness, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Can also be frozen for up to three months. Substitute nuts for seeds for a nut-free option.
