Ingredients
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 1.5 cups crushed graham crackers
- 0.5 cup salted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup honey
- 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 0.5 teaspoon flaky sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers and raw cashews. Set aside.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, then stir in granulated sugar and honey. Cook while stirring frequently for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is fully combined and begins to bubble slightly.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 5
Pour the wet mixture over the graham cracker and cashew mixture in the bowl. Stir well until everything is evenly coated.
Step 6
Press the mixture firmly into the prepared baking dish to create an even layer. Use the back of a spoon or your hands (lightly greased) to flatten it.
Step 7
Melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl by microwaving in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
Step 8
Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the pressed mixture in the baking dish. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
Step 9
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the bars are firm and the chocolate is set.
Step 10
Once chilled, remove from the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Use a sharp knife to cut into 12 bars.
Step 11
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
