Time 1h

Yield 15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup puffed rice cereal or 1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup sesame seeds
1/2 cup shredded coconut or 1/2 cup flaked coconut, toasted
1/2 cup toasted hazelnuts
1/2 cup dried apricot, diced
1/2 cup dried figs or 1/2 cup dates, diced
1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted
1/2 cup pepitas, toasted
1/3-1/2 cup LSA (sunflower seed, almonds and ground linseed mixture)
1 cup golden syrup
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup tahini (optional)
200 g 80% couverture dark chocolate, grated into smaller pieces
400 g 80% couverture dark chocolate

Steps:

  • Lightly warm all the ingredients.
  • Mix all other ingredients together in a bowl except the honey, golden syrup, tahini and the LSA.
  • Add the honey, syrup, tahini and mix well together.
  • Add 1/3 cup of the LSA and as much more to 1/2 cup as required to bind the mixture together then spread onto a tray lined with baking paper.
  • Spread evenly and allow to set (20 mins in the fridge should do it). Warming the honey/golden syrup a little enables them to combine more easily and the LSA helps to bind the mixture.
  • Cut into bars and eat just as they are or coat in chocolate.
  • Chocolate dip: Melt 400g chocolate in a bowl over a water bath until the temperature of the chocolate mass is 43C, remove from water bath & fold in the 200g grated chocolate which should lower temp to 35C as it melts. The chocolate is now tempered and ready to use.(There is a 2-3 degree C window of variation working with chocolate.).
  • ***If your palate is more savoury try 3/4 cup tahini & ¾ cup of honey & omit the golden syrup.

I found these nut bars to be a bit dry. I think I'll try adding some more honey next time.

These nut bars are a great make-ahead snack. I make a batch on the weekend and then I have them all week.
