Atop this wholesome foundation lies a creamy, dreamy layer made with cashew nuts, coconut oil, and a touch of maple syrup, creating a velvety smooth texture that perfectly complements the nutty base.
Enrobed in a luxurious coat of dark chocolate, each bite is a harmonious blend of flavours and textures that will leave you craving more.
The best part? This no-bake recipe is incredibly easy to prepare and is naturally gluten-free, making it an ideal treat for those with dietary restrictions or anyone seeking a guilt-free indulgence.

Nutty Chocolate Bars Recipe
Process the the walnuts in a food processor then add the dates to combine.
Press the mixture into a tin lined with baking paper . I used a 16cm x 16cm brownie tin or you can use a 2lb loaf tin. Put in the freezer while you make the next mixture.
Combine the cashew nuts, coconut oil, syrup and vanilla essence in the food processor until smooth and creamy. Add this layer to dish and return to the freezer.
Meanwhile melt the dark chocolate in bursts of 30 seconds in the microwave.
Pour on top of the nutty base and leave to set for about 30 minutes and slice into bars. To add more chocolate dip the bottom and sides into a bowl of melted chocolate and leave to set.
How To Store Homemade Chocolate Bars
Store them in a air tight container and keep them in a cool area, such as the pantry or fridge. Chocolate bars last for a few months but check the use by date on the nuts you have used and go by that date.
