The other day I made chocolate nut bars. I love to find easy things to bake through instagram and this one I had screenshot’ed a while ago. As always, I made my own version of it. Like, I used different nuts and I used vanilla extract instead of some fake sugar (which I don’t think you actually need). Super simple, yummy and filling. I made half the recipe but I will write out the whole thing for you guys.
1 cup Coconut butter
1 cup cocoa powder
¼ cup honey
few drops of vanilla extract
crushed cashews and almonds, like ½-1 cup
Warm up the coconut butter by having the jar in warm water for 10 minutes. Mix coconut butter with the cocoa powder, honey and vanilla. Crush the nuts and add to the mix. Spread out on baking paper or aluminum foil. Freeze for a few hours, make into smaller bars and then store in the fridge.
They are pretty filling. This week, every time I feel my sweet tooth screaming, usually around 3pm, I just open the fridge and have one piece which really is enough to stop the craving for sweets. I have most of the bars left which is unusual to me:)
