Actually Kind Bars 

(Nut & Chocolate Snack Bar)

Serves 12

Ingredients

DRY

• 1 cup Almonds (dry roasted: see instructions)
• 1 cup Dry Roasted Peanuts 
• 1 cup chopped Walnuts
• ⅔ cup Puffed Rice 
• 2 tbsp Ground Flaxseed 

WET

• 4 tbsp Molasses
• 4 tbsp Honey
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 1 tsp Sea Salt

COATING

• 16 oz Dark Chocolate 

EXTRAS

• Parchment Paper
• 1 spoonful Coconut Oil
  

Instructions

1. (optional dry roasting) Set your oven to 350F, pour your Almonds in a packing pan into a single layer and bake them for 10 - 15 mins or until golden brown and fragrant.
2. Line an 8×8 inch or 9×9 inch pan with criss-crossed parchment paper. Cut two strips the width of the sides but long enough so there is a little overhang. These will be your handles to pull out the bars with ease. Put a little coconut oil in the bottom, placing one piece of parchment across. Repeat going in the opposite direction. You can watch our video here to clarify.
3. Coat a large mixing bowl with coconut oil. This is to keep the cooling bar mixture from sticking to the bowl. In the bowl combine almonds, peanuts, walnuts, puffed rice cereal and flaxseed meal. Set aside.
4. In a small pot combine molasses, honey, vanilla, and sea salt. Stir to combine. Over medium low heat, cook this mixture until it thickens and smells a little caramelized. You are really trying to smell when the honey has begun to caramelize. This can be tricky through the strong molasses smell, but do your best!
5. Once the wet mixture has thickened and doesn’t immediately run back together on the bottom of the pot when stirred, pour over the nut mixture. Working quickly, stir the nuts and wet ingredients together until all the nuts are coated. Scrap into the prepared pan. Press the mixture down to flatten and fill the pan.
6. Allow to cool completely.
7. Remove the bars from the pan and place on a cutting board. Cut 20 bars or whatever custom size then put back into the pan.
8. Melt dark chocolate in a bowl over simmering water. Stir until it is melted. Pour the dark chocolate over the bars in the pan until minimally covered, **leave yourself enough chocolate to drizzle over the top**. Put in the freezer or fridge to cool. 
9. Once cool, take the bars out, turn them over and drizzle the remaining chocolate over the top with a spoon.
10. Allow to set at room temperature or put them back in the fridge or freezer until the chocolate is set. 

SERVE & ENJOY! 🌞
