Mini Chocolate Pistachio Bars
Pistachios and chocolate are definitely a match made in heaven! And these mini chocolate pistachio bars are a super easy way to enjoy them both. With only 5 simple ingredients and no baking required, they are great one to store in the freezer for easy snacking.
Ingredients
Base ingredients:
- ⅓ cup unsalted pistachios (40g)
- 1½ cups medjool dates pitted (200g)
- 1 cup unsalted almonds (140g)
Topping ingredients:
- 4-5 tbsp pistachio butter
- 100 g dark chocolate
- 2 tbsp chopped pistachios
Instructions
- Pit the dates and add to a food processor with the almond and pistachios. Blend for a minute or two until the mixture forms a sticky ball. It should be a very smooth paste, if not, add 1-2 tbsp water and blend again.
- Separate the mixture into 15 equal pieces and press down into an ice cube tray. Add a tsp of pistachio butter to the top of each base.
- Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of hot water. Pour a spoonful on top of each base and sprinkle over the chopped pistachios. Refrigerate for about an hour to harden.
Notes
- You can swap some of the almonds for more pistachios if preferred. Pistachios can be expensive, hence the smaller amount I have used here.
- They can be stored in the fridge for about a week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
