Hi, everyone! Megan here from Renewing All Things. Good to be here.
This nut bar is the perfect snack, dessert, or side. Full of metabolism boosting and brain fueling coconut oil, enzyme rich honey, antioxidant rich cacao powder, and nuts and seeds full of minerals, fiber, and protein to fuel your body and support healthy skin. These will satisfy sugar cravings, and take the place of processed protein or candy bars.
Notes:
- Add more/less honey depending on how sweet you like it.
- Use any combination of any nuts/seeds you like.

From the photo, it’s pretty obvious that the nuts weren’t mixed with the chocolate /coconut oil mixture before being spread in the pan. Did you just spread the chocolate/coconut oil mix in the pan and sprinkle the nuts on top?
The nuts are actually folded into the mixture before spreading into the pan. You can give the pan a little jiggle to help the nuts rise to the surface a bit more. Thanks for stopping by!
Any suggestions On what i Can use to replace The honey? I’m on the Candida diet and honey, maple syrup, and sugar is not allowed….
Hi, Kari! If you are on the Candida diet, these bars may not be for you right now. You could definitely make them without sweetener, but they may not taste the way you would like them to. Good for you for taking the time to work on your health. Your body will thank you. 🙂
So I tried out the recipe and love the flavour but I have a problem with the chocolate melting very quickly and turning liquid. Is there anything I can do to stop this?
Hi, Katie! Do you mean the bars melt quickly when you are eating them? Yes, coconut oil melts at around 76″F. So I keep these in the fridge on warm days. If you want them to be more temperature stable, you could try coconut butter instead of coconut oil. Thicker and will not melt as fast. Hope that helps. 🙂
This is very good, thank you. Next time I make this, I’ll increase the recipe by 50% to better fill a 9×13 pan — too thin when fully spread out.
