Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole toasted unsalted almonds
  • 3/4 cup whole roasted unsalted peanuts
  • 3/4 cup toasted walnuts chopped
  • 1/2 cup crispy rice cereal
  • 1 tbsp flaxseed meal
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/3 cup brown rice syrup
  • 3/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil

Instructions

  • Generously grease/spray a 13 x 9-inch pan (I used a quarter sheet pan).
  • In a large bowl, combine almonds, peanuts, walnuts, cereal and flaxseed; set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan set to medium-high heat, combine honey, brown rice syrup, salt and vanilla. Stir frequently, until mixture reaches 260 degrees F on a candy thermometer (hard ball stage).
  • Immediately pour syrup over nut mixture. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  • Pour mixture into prepared pan and spread evenly. Refrigerate for 20 minutes to harden.
  • Once hardened, cut into 20 bars.
  • Melt chocolate and oil in your microwave, in 30 second increments, stirring until smooth. Drizzle bars with melted chocolate. Refrigerate to let chocolate set.
