Kind bars are the perfect little snack to keep in your purse on the run or in your desk while at work, they’re made with all-natural wholesome ingredients and best of all, they’re soooo delicious. The only thing is that they are pretty expensive if you want to a buy them in bulk. Well I have the perfect solution, simply make them yourself!
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil, melted (or any oil would work for this)
- 1/2 cup almonds, roasted unsalted
- 1/2 cup peanuts, whole, dry roasted, unsalted
- 1/2 cup walnuts, roasted, chopped
- 1/3 cup puffed rice (rice krispies)
- 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal
- 1/4 cup brown rice syrup
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips, dark
Instructions
- Line an 8 inch pan with aluminum foil leaving a couple of inches overhanging on each side.Drizzle melted coconut oil in a large bowl, making sure to coat the bowl completely so its greasy, and mix together the nuts, puffed rice and flaxseed meal. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan, combine brown rice syrup, honey, vanilla and sea salt and bring to a boil. Once the mixture starts boiling, continually whisk for 3 to 4 minutes, until mixture has thickened and its nice and sticky.Pour syrup mixture immediately over nut mixture and stir to combine. Transfer into the lined pan and spread out evenly, making sure there are no gaps.
- Allow mixture to cool for about 30 minutes then, using the overhanging foil, take the block of nuts out of the pan and place on a cutting board. Cut into 10 even bars and allow to cool completely before drizzling chocolate.
- To make the chocolate drizzle, place the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring each time until the chocolate is melted.Spoon the chocolate drizzle over the bars and let sit at room temperature until the chocolate has set.Store bars in an airtight container for up to a week or freeze to save for later.
