Ingredients
  

  • 200 g dark chocolate chopped into small pieces
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter or coconut oil for dairy-free
  • 1 tablespoon honey or golden syrup for sweetness and binding
  • 1 cup mixed nuts toasted for extra flavor
  • 1 cup oats optional, lightly toasted

Equipment

  • 20x20cm (8x8 inch) pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Skillet
  • Spatula
  • Sharp knife

Method
 

  1. Line your pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang to make removal easier.
  2. Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces to help it melt evenly.
  3. Place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and melt it in 30-second bursts, stirring after each, until smooth and glossy.
  4. While the chocolate melts, toast the mixed nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant and lightly golden, about 3-4 minutes. Let them cool slightly.
  5. Add the butter and honey to the melted chocolate, stirring until fully combined and the mixture is warm and inviting smelling.
  6. In a large bowl, combine the toasted nuts and oats, if using.
  7. Pour the warm chocolate mixture over the nuts and oats, folding gently with a spatula until everything is evenly coated and sticky.
  8. Transfer the mixture into your prepared pan, pressing down firmly and evenly with the back of a spatula to create a compact, smooth surface.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate is firm and slices cleanly. For quicker setting, pop it in the freezer for about 1 hour.
  10. Once set, lift the slice out of the pan using the parchment overhang, and cut into squares with a sharp knife, wiping the blade between cuts for clean edges.
  11. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge. Enjoy the rich, crunchy texture with every bite!
