What goes in

• 1 teaspoon. coconut oil, melted and cooled (or any oil would work for this)
• ½ cup unsalted roasted almonds, whole
• ½ cup unsalted dry roasted peanuts, whole
• ½ cup roasted walnuts, chopped
• 1/3 cup puffed rice
• 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal
• ¼ cup brown rice syrup
• 2 tablespoons honey
• ½ tsp vanilla
• ½ tsp sea salt
• ½ cup dark chocolate chips

How it comes together

1. Line an 8 inch pan with aluminum foil leaving a couple of inches overhanging on each side.
2. Drizzle melted coconut oil in a wide bowl, making sure to coat the bowl completely so its greasy, and mix together the nuts, puffed rice and flaxseed meal. Hold nearby.
3. In a small saucepan, combine brown rice syrup, honey, vanilla and sea salt and bring to a boil. Once the mixture starts boiling, continually whisk for 3 to 4 minutes, until mixture has thickened and its nice and sticky.
4. Pour syrup mixture immediately over nut mixture and stir to combine. Transfer into the lined pan and spread out evenly, making sure there are no gaps.
5. Allow mixture to cool for about 30 minutes then, using the overhanging foil, take the block of nuts out of the pan and place on a cutting board. Cut into 10 even bars and allow to cool completely before drizzling chocolate.
6. To make the chocolate drizzle, place the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring each time until the chocolate is melted.
7. Spoon the chocolate drizzle over the bars and let sit at room temperature until the chocolate has set.
8. Store bars in an airtight container for up to a week or freeze to save for later.
