Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Pistachio Base
- 1 cup shelled pistachios
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
Coconut Honey Topping
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Pulse Pistachios: In a food processor, pulse the shelled pistachios until they are finely chopped but still retain some texture.
- Melt Chocolate: Place the dark chocolate chips in a saucepan and melt over low heat, stirring frequently to prevent burning until smooth.
- Combine and Press Base: Mix the melted chocolate with the finely chopped pistachios until well combined. Press this mixture firmly into a lined baking dish to form an even base layer.
- Prepare Coconut Mixture: In the same saucepan, melt the coconut oil and honey together over low heat until fully combined. Remove from heat, then stir in shredded coconut, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until evenly mixed.
- Layer Topping: Pour the coconut mixture over the chocolate-pistachio base in the baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula to cover the entire surface.
- Chill to Set: Place the baking dish in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours to allow the bars to set properly.
- Cut and Serve: Once firm, remove from the refrigerator, cut into bars of desired size, and enjoy this flavorful treat.
Notes
- Use dark chocolate with at least 60% cocoa for a rich flavor and less sugar.
- Substitute pistachios with almonds or walnuts if preferred.
- Ensure the mang mixture is spread evenly for uniform bar texture.
- Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For a vegan option, use maple syrup instead of honey.
