Came across this recipe in the Martha Stewart Magazine and I immediately had to try them. Made from real ingredients and mostly healthy at that (also gluten free). I tweaked it a bit (as I always do) and must say these are perfect for those of you who love chocolate but don't want to eat complete junk. They take minutes to make and are so worth the wait in the fridge. Make these. You and your family will NOT be disappointed.
Ingredients:
I cup almond butter
1 stick butter
1/2 cup honey
2 1/4 cup rolled oats
1/3 cup toasted almonds, chopped
1 1/2 cups bittersweet or semi sweet chocolate chips depending on preference
3 tablespoons chia seeds
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Directions:
Take an 8x8 square vessel, spray with cooking oil and line with parchment being sure to leave an overhang of parchment.
Heat the almond butter, butter and honey over a medium low flame, string often, until completely melted and blended.
While the wet ingredients are melting, throw together all of the dry ingredients.
Cover the dry ingredients with the hot mixture and let sit for one minute before stirring to combine.
Toss mixture into your 8x8 dish and spread evenly with a spatula.
Let sit in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours but I found it was best the next morning. Yes, I ate this for breakfast!
Keep stored in the fridge in the 8x8 pan or you can remove and cut into bars. Wrap them separately in parchment for easy access.
Perfect chocolate treat without all of the guilt.
