Step-by-Step Instructions for Dark Chocolate Nut Squares
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Spread nuts and seeds on a baking sheet and roast for 5-7 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine roasted nuts and seeds with a pinch of salt.
- In a saucepan over low heat, warm maple syrup or honey for 2-3 minutes, then pour over the nut mixture and blend well.
- Mix thoroughly until dry ingredients are coated with sweetener, then transfer to the prepared baking pan and press down firmly.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until the top is golden brown and edges are set.
- Allow bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, then drizzle melted dark chocolate over them.
- Once the chocolate sets, lift the squares from the pan, slice, and store.
