Step 2: Melt the Chocolate
In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Tip: Be careful not to overheat – chocolate can burn quickly. If you prefer, you can also melt the chocolate over a double boiler.
Step 3: Mix in Nut Butter and Honey
Once the chocolate is melted, add the nut butter and honey directly to the bowl. Stir until all three ingredients are combined into a smooth, glossy mixture.
The mixture will be thick, but that’s exactly what makes these bars dense and chewy.
Step 4: Transfer to Pan
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly, pressing it gently to fill the corners. Smooth the top as best you can for even bars.
Step 5: Chill Until Firm
Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until the bars are firm enough to cut. For a quicker fix, you can also put it in the freezer for 20–30 minutes.
Step 6: Cut and Serve
Lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper. Cut into small squares or rectangles, depending on your serving preference.
Nugart Bars are rich, so smaller pieces are perfect for snacking or dessert.
Step 7: Storage Tips
Store your Nugart Bars in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. They also freeze well for longer storage—perfect for making ahead of time.
