Ingredients
Scale
- 200g (7 oz) dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 100g (3.5 oz) roasted pistachios, roughly chopped
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Melt the Chocolate: Break the dark chocolate into small pieces and melt it using a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between.
- Prepare the Pistachios: Roughly chop the roasted pistachios for a good texture. Reserve a small portion for topping.
- Combine Ingredients: Stir the chopped pistachios, honey (if using), sea salt, and vanilla extract into the melted chocolate. Mix well to evenly distribute.
- Set the Bars: Line a small baking dish (20×20 cm / 8×8 inches) with parchment paper. Pour the chocolate mixture into the dish and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the reserved pistachios on top.
- Chill and Cut: Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until fully set. Once firm, remove from the dish and cut into bars or squares.
- Enjoy! Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
Notes
1️⃣ Use High-Quality Chocolate – The better the chocolate, the better the taste! Opt for at least 70% dark chocolate for a rich and smooth texture.
2️⃣ Don’t Skip the Chilling Time – Allow the bars to fully set in the fridge for at least an hour to ensure they hold their shape when cut.
3️⃣ Customize to Your Taste – Add a sprinkle of sea salt, drizzle with white chocolate, or mix in dried fruits for an extra layer of flavor!
