Ingredients
200 g skinned brazil nuts
4 tbsp runny honey
2 tbsp coconut sugar
3 tbsp coconut oil
the seeds from 1 vanilla pod, or 1 teaspoon good vanilla extract
100 g dark chocolate (70% is good here)
Method
Line an approximately 20cm square brownie tin with greaseproof paper.
First put the Brazil nuts into a food processor and blitz until they are a finefour don't over-blitz or they will become nut butter. Add the honey,coconut sugar, coconut oil and vanilla and pulse gently until the mixturejust comes together in a ball. Roughly chop the chocolate into small pieces.
Turn out the dough on to a chopping board and scatter over the choppedchocolate, then use your hands to gently but quickly knead in the chocolateand distribute it through the dough.
Press the mixture into a lined baking tray and pop into the fridge for a fewminutes. The longer you leave them, the firmer they will be before cutting 10 minutes will do, but 3040 minutes is ideal. Cut into 16 pieces and storein the fridge.
