Method
- Grease and line an 8-inch square baking tin with baking paper and set aside.
- Heat honey, coconut oil and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan over medium heat for about 10 minutes until it begins to thicken and turn a rich, golden caramel colour (keep an eye on the heat so that it doesn’t bubble over suddenly).
- Fold in the chopped nuts, cinnamon seeds and coconut and stir until evenly coated.
- Remove from heat and pour into the lined baking pan. Cover with another sheet of baking paper and press down firmly – using a tea towel if needed to protect your fingers from the heat – to form an even layer. Refrigerate until hardened.
- Cut into squares with a sharp knife and keep refrigerated until you’re ready to dip in the melted chocolate.
- Melt chocolate.
- Dip one end or corner of each square into melted chocolate and sprinkle with a few flakes of salt before placing on a baking paper lined tray to set in the fridge.
- After an hour, the bars will be ready to enjoy.
