Notes
- For some extra flavour, add a little vanilla extract, as it adds a nice warmth to these chocolate nut bars.
- You can add some shredded coconut for a nice addition of flavour.
- Once the nut butter and honey have melted and been stirred into the nuts, it’s important that you work quickly, so the mixture doesn’t have time to set and harden before you’ve even had the chance to spread it in the pan.
- If you find that your spatula is sticking a bit too much, you can slightly wet it and it should make it easier to work with.
- When cutting the bars, use a good, sharp knife and to push it right down into the bars. Don’t use a sawing motion.
- For some added warmth, add a pinch of cinnamon.
