Homemade Kind Nut Bars

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a rimmed quarter sheet pan or 13×9" baking dish with parchment paper.

Place the nuts in a medium bowl and toss to combine.

Place the honey, brown rice syrup and salt in a small bowl and heat in the microwave for 30 seconds or until hot. Pour the mixture over the nuts and stir well to coat.

Pour the nut mixture into the prepared baking sheet, and press down evenly using a wooden spoon, rubber scraper or parchment paper as the mixture is sticky. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until golden and bubbly, checking for doneness after 10 minutes. Remove from heat and cool completely on a wire rack and cut into bars.

Place the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a small bowl and heat at 50% power in the microwave for 1 minute. Stir and repeat in 30 second increments, stirring well each time, until the chocolate has melted.

Place the melted chocolate in an oblong dish like a loaf pan and dip the bottom of the bars in the chocolate. Place on parchment paper or waxed paper to set. If the chocolate begins to harden, heat in the microwave at 50% power for 10 seconds. Drizzle remaining chocolate over the bars and let stand at room temperature to set. Enjoy!
