chocolate nut butter shards

Avoid the temptation of a packet of biscuits and throw this satisfying treat together instead

When you’re trying to be healthy, busy days can wreak havoc with your best intentions. Here’s a handy and tasty snack that will help you feel energised and full.

Serves 10

Ingredients:

3 tbsp coconut flakes or desiccated coconut
3 tbsp sunflower seeds
3 tbsp pumpkin seeds
3 tbsp sliced almonds
400g dark chocolate (80% cocoa solids) 
3 tbsp almond or peanut butter
3 tbsp dried cranberries
A sprinkle of salt

Method: 

  • Preheat your oven to 175°C.
  • Spread the coconut, seeds and nuts out on a baking tray and put in the oven for 8 minutes, shaking regularly and watching carefully to prevent burning. 
  • Melt the dark chocolate in a Pyrex bowl over a pot of barely simmering hot water. Once melted, mix in the nut butter. 
  • Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper and spread the chocolate mixture out to an approximate size of 20 x 30cm.
  • While the chocolate is still warm, sprinkle the toasted coconut, nuts and seeds over the chocolate evenly. Finish by scattering the cranberries over with a sprinkle of salt. 
  • Place in a fridge and chill completely for about an hour until hardened. Place in the freezer to chill faster if necessary. 
  • Now for the fun bit — peel off the paper and smash into shards of the size you wish. 

This recipe is from performance nutritionist Daniel Davey’s book Eat Up, Raise Your Game and first appeared in the print version of Irish Country Magazine.
