Ingredients

  • 250 g milk chocolate chopped into chunks
  • 250 g dark chocolate chopped into chunks
  • 100 g white chocolate chopped into chunks
  • 150 g almonds roasted
  • 60 g honey or rice malt syrup
  • 40 g coconut oil
Metric - US Customary

Instructions

  • If roasting your almonds, preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F. Spread the almonds out on a tray lined with baking paper and bake for 8 – 10 minutes. Shake the tray halfway through to ensure they don’t burn. Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly then roughly chop.
  • Next, slowly melt all the chocolate and coconut oil in a saucepan over a very low heat. Stir frequently so it doesn’t stick or clump. Don’t rush this or you’ll burn the chocolate!
  • Once it’s almost completely melted, add in the honey, and stir to warm it until the chocolate mixture is silky smooth.
  • Remove mixture from the heat add the nuts and stir well to combine.
  • Pour the chocolate mixture into chocolate bar moulds, add your toppings of choice, then place in the freezer for 30 minutes to an hour, or until set.
  • Remove from the freezer and let the chocolate bars sit on the bench for 10 – 15 minutes before slicing in half or cutting into chunks.
  • Store in the fridge and enjoy!

Notes

If pouring into individual moulds will test your patience you can absolutely pour the whole lot into a single dish lined with baking paper. A 20x20cm (8×8 inch) dish yields quite thick chocolate bars. For thinner bars try a 19.5 x 28.5cm (7.5 x 11 inch) slice tray.
If preferred, a few extras can be added into the chocolate mixture too. Things like puffed rice or shredded coconut are great inclusions. If adding these, do it the same time the nuts are added in the recipe above.
