- 1 1/2 cup roasted assorted nuts chopped
- 1/2 cup unsweetened peanut butter see notes
- 1/4 cup honey
- a splash of milk if needed
garnish
- 2 tbsp chopped nuts
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 tbsp peanut butter
Instructions
- In a pan, toast whole oats until they turn golden brown. This will take around 5 mins. Set aside
- Line a bread loaf pan with butter paper and set aside.
- Add chocolate chips and peanut butter in the bowl. Heat it for 30 secs in the microwave. (see notes)
- Stir the peanut butter and chocolate around to mix them a little bit.
- Add honey and heat the mixture for another 30 secs in the microwave.
- Stir around everything until the chocolate is fully melted and you have a smooth mix. (do an extra 15 sec heat up if you need to)
- Add your assorted chopped nuts and toasted oats. Mix until well combined.
- Pour the mixture on to the baking tray and spread out evenly
- Sprinkle chopped nuts all over the bars.
- Heat honey and peanut butter in the oven for 15 sec. Mix them together and drizzle all over the bars.
- Refrigerate for 30 mins at least.
- Remove tray from fridge and cut the set chocolate into bars or squares.
- You can even wrap them up individually to store them in the fridge.
Notes
- You can also heat the chocolate, honey and peanut butter in saucepan if you do not wish to use the microwave. Keep flame at low.
- You can use any oats you have at hand, but I'd still recommend to toast them before using.
- If you are using sweetened peanut butter and milk chocolate, reduce the quantity of honey to 2 tbsp.
- A splash of milk is only added in the ingredients as an option if your mixture turns too thick and you need to loosen it up.
- You can store the bars in the fridge or freeze. Just thaw for 5 to 10 mins before eating.
