Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Base
- 2 cups dark chocolate chips (high quality)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Toppings
- 1 cup mixed nuts (almonds, cashews, walnuts)
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt (just a pinch)
Instructions
- Prepare the baking dish: Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup and to allow you to lift out the chocolate slab once it has set.
- Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each burst until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
- Pour and spread chocolate: Pour the melted chocolate evenly into the prepared baking dish, using a spatula to smooth the surface for an even layer.
- Add nuts: Evenly sprinkle the mixed nuts over the surface of the melted chocolate, ensuring good coverage for every bite.
- Season with sea salt: Lightly sprinkle the sea salt over the nut-coated chocolate to accentuate and enhance the flavors.
- Chill until set: Place the baking dish in the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes or until the chocolate is fully firm and set.
- Slice and store: Once set, use the parchment paper to lift the entire slab from the baking dish. Cut into squares and store in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Use high-quality dark chocolate chips for the best flavor and texture.
- Feel free to customize the nut mixture with your favorite nuts or add seeds for more crunch.
- Store the chocolate treats in a cool place or refrigerated to prevent melting.
- For a touch of extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or chili powder along with the sea salt.
