- 1/2 1/2 cup almonds
- 1/2 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 1/2 cup honey

- Add brown sugar, honey, coconut oil, and nut butter to a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring until completely dissolved and combined, about 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in salt and cinnamon. Pour the melted brown sugar mixture over the oat mixture and stir until well combined. Then, stir in dark chocolate chunks.
