Prep Time: 15 minutes
Chill Time: 60 minutes (at least)
Serves: 16 bars
Ingredients
110g pecans
110g blanched almonds
140g cashews
95g coconut chips
1 tsp ground cinnamon
150g raisins
1/2 tsp salt
60g hard butter or coconut oil
60g peanut butter
115g maple syrup or honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
85g dark chocolate chips
Method
Line a 9 x 9 inch tin with parchment paper
Combine the pecans, almonds and cashews in a food processor. Cover with lid and pulse to chop the ingredients but don't overmix. Add the coconut chips towards the end
Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and stir in the cinnamon, salt and raisins
In a small saucepan, melt the butter and combine with the peanut butter and maple syrup over a low heat. Whisk until smooth and add the vanilla extract
Add the butter mixture to the dry ingredients and stir to fully combine, then fold in the chocolate chips
Transfer to the lined pan and press down in an even layer. Cover and allow to cool, then refrigerate for 1 hour or until firm
Remove from the pan and cut into 16 bars to serve
The bars will start to melt at room temperature so keep chilled to stay firm. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for up to 2 months.
