Chocolate Bar with Nuts (Print Version)

A rich dark chocolate bar combined with crunchy roasted nuts for an indulgent and satisfying snack.

# Recipe Ingredients:

01 - 10.5 oz high-quality dark chocolate (at least 60% cocoa), chopped

02 - 1 tbsp coconut oil (optional, for smoother texture)

03 - 2.8 oz roasted mixed nuts (almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts, pecans), roughly chopped

04 - 1 tbsp dried cranberries or raisins

05 - 1/2 tsp flaky sea salt (for topping)

01 - Line an 8 x 8 inch baking pan or chocolate bar mold with parchment paper.

02 - Melt the chopped dark chocolate and coconut oil (if using) in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, stirring gently until smooth.

03 - Remove the melted chocolate from heat and fold in the roasted mixed nuts and optional dried cranberries or raisins.

04 - Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared mold, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

05 - Tap the mold gently to release any trapped air bubbles and sprinkle flaky sea salt atop if desired.

06 - Refrigerate for at least 40 minutes until fully set.

07 - Once firm, remove from the mold and cut into 8 bars or break into pieces.

Ready in under an hour from start to finish, with most of that time being the fridge doing the work for you.
Uses just a handful of ingredients, so the quality of each one actually shines through.
Tastes expensive and feels like a gift, even when you're making it just for yourself.

The chocolate will seem like it's barely set at 40 minutes; give it the full time or it'll crumble when you cut it.
Quality chocolate makes an enormous difference—cheap chocolate tastes like compromise, while good chocolate tastes like a treat.

Temper isn't necessary here since we're chilling it, so you can use regular melting chocolate without any stress.
Chop your nuts by hand rather than in a food processor so you get satisfying chunks instead of dust.
