Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Nut Layer
- 1 cup shelled pistachios
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
Coconut Honey Topping
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Chop Pistachios: In a food processor, pulse the pistachios until finely chopped to create a crunchy base.
- Melt Chocolate: In a saucepan over low heat, gently melt the dark chocolate chips until smooth and creamy.
- Mix and Press Base: Combine the melted chocolate with the chopped pistachios thoroughly, then press the mixture evenly into a lined baking dish to form the bottom layer.
- Prepare Coconut Mixture: Using the same saucepan, melt the coconut oil and honey together over low heat. Stir in the shredded coconut, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
- Layer and Spread: Pour the coconut mixture over the chocolate-pistachio base, spreading it evenly to cover the entire surface.
- Chill and Set: Place the baking dish in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the bars to set firmly.
- Cut and Serve: Once set, cut the mixture into bars and enjoy a delicious, healthy treat.
Notes
- Use a lined baking dish for easier removal of bars.
- Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For a nut-free version, consider substituting pistachios with seeds like pumpkin or sunflower.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of honey based on preference.
- Ensure chocolate chips are melted gently to prevent burning.
