Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Chocolate mixture
  • 8 tablespoons salted butter, divided
  • 8 tablespoons coconut oil, divided
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 4 tablespoons honey, divided
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • a couple pinches of salt (to taste)
Almond butter mixture
  • 2 tablespoons almond butter
Assembly
  • 1 heaping cup frozen raspberries
  • 1/2 cup whole or chopped pecans
Topping
  • cacao nibs, flaked coconut, sea salt, or other desired topping

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line a pie plate with parchment paper or foil. Spread the raspberries and pecans in a single layer across the bottom.
Chocolate Layer
  1. Melt 4 tablespoons butter and 4 tablespoons coconut oil together until smooth. Whisk in the cocoa powder, 2 tablespoons honey, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Taste and adjust if needed, then pour the chocolate mixture over the raspberries and pecans in the pie plate.
Almond Butter Layer
  1. Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons butter and 4 tablespoons coconut oil until smooth. Stir in the almond butter, remaining 2 tablespoons honey, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is melted and combined. Taste and adjust if needed, then pour over the chocolate layer.
Chilling and Serving
  1. Freeze for at least 30 minutes until the bars are firm. Cut into wedges to serve.

Notes

The two melted mixtures can be combined, but keeping them separate creates a layered effect. The texture is between a fudgsicle and chocolate bark, and allowing the bars to soften slightly before eating makes them more fudgy and smooth.
