Ingredients




4 oz unsalted butter
2 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 cup cake flour, firmly packed
1 cup nut mix (sliced almonds, cashews, walnuts)
1 1/2 cup rolled oats
5 pieces Ghirardelli Hazelnut Heaven Dark Chocolate, chopped (or 1/2 cup bittersweet chocolate chips)

Preparation

1 Preheat oven to 350°F. 2 In a saucepan, heat up butter over medium heat until butter is melted. 3 Add brown sugar, granulated sugar, and honey. Stir constantly until sugar and honey are completely dissolved in the butter. Remove from heat. 4 Mix flour and nuts together in a bowl. 5 Add flour mixture into butter mixture. Stir until even. (You might feel the mix is sorta dry at this point but don't worry.) 6 Next, add chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips and quickly stir until chocolate is evenly spread out. 7 Scoop the final mixture into an 8"x8" buttered baking dish and compress it firmly by using the back of a big spoon. 8 Place the baking dish at the middle rack of preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. 9 When done baking, let the energy bar sit for a few hours until completely cool. Cut into 12 bars and enjoy!
