Equipment

  • 1 8x8 inch baking pan

Ingredients
 
 

  • 3/4 cup Sesame Seeds
  • 2 cups Hazelnuts chopped
  • 1 cup Greek Thyme Honey
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 4 oz Dark Chocolate Bar finely chopped

Instructions
 

  • Line an 8 x 8 inch baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Over medium-high heat, toast the sesame seeds in a non-stick pan for 2 minutes until golden, stirring constantly with a spatula.
  • Remove from heat and place in a bowl.
  • Toast the chopped hazelnuts for 2-3 minutes until golden.
  • Remove from heat and place in the bowl with the toasted sesame seeds.
  • Lower heat to medium and pour honey. As soon as the honey starts foaming, add the toasted nuts and stir continuously.
  • Add salt and continue stirring as the mixture thickens up for about 10 minutes. If the mixture starts getting too brown too quickly, lower heat to low.
  • Remove from heat and add the finely chopped dark chocolate. Stir until fully incorporated.
  • Spread the mixture into the lined baking pan and let it cool for at least 1 hour before cutting into bars or squares.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • The cooling time will differ depending on the pan you use. A thicker layer will take longer time to cool than a thin one.
  • Storage Instructions: Hazelnut chocolate bars will keep well stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 weeks.
