Recipe Details

  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 10 minutes
  • Cooling Time: 2 hours
  • Total Time: 2 hours 25 minutes
  • Servings: 8-10 pieces
  • Difficulty: Beginner

Ingredients

  • 200g high-quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids)
  • 100g mixed nuts (almonds, hazelnuts, and cashews)
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Line a 8x4 inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

  2. Roughly chop the mixed nuts and spread them on a baking sheet. Toast in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes, until fragrant. Let cool.

  3. Break the chocolate into small pieces and place in a heatproof bowl with the butter.

  4. Create a double boiler by placing the bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the bottom doesn't touch the water. Stir occasionally until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and smooth.

  5. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract (if using) and sea salt.

  6. Reserve about 2 tablespoons of the toasted nuts, then fold the rest into the melted chocolate mixture.

  7. Pour the chocolate and nut mixture into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.

  8. Sprinkle the reserved nuts on top, gently pressing them into the surface.

  9. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the chocolate is completely set.

  10. Once set, lift the chocolate bar out of the pan using the parchment paper. Cut into desired sizes with a sharp knife.

Chef's Notes

  • For a smoother texture, you can pulse the nuts in a food processor instead of chopping by hand.
  • Experiment with different nut combinations like pecans, macadamias, or pistachios for variety.
  • To enhance the flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or a dash of espresso powder to the melted chocolate.
  • Store the chocolate bar in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • For a vegan version, use vegan dark chocolate and replace butter with coconut oil.
