Chewy Chocolate Nut Bars

Ingredients

Bottom Layer

  • 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 tsp coconut oil
  • 1/2 heaping cup lightly salted peanuts

Middle Layer

  • 14 oz marshmallow fluff
  • 3/4 cup chocolate hazelnut spread

Top Layer

  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • 1/2 tsp coarse sea salt

Instructions

  • Line 13x9 baking dish with parchment paper.

Bottom Layer

  • In a microwave safe bowl, microwave your chocolate chips and coconut oil until completely melted. I microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring between each round, until the chocolate has melted completely.
  • Pour your melted chocolate into your parchment-lined baking dish and spread into an even layer.
  • Carefully and quickly sprinkle the peanuts over the chocolate layer. Press the peanuts into the chocolate layer so they're secure and won't move around once the chocolate sets.
  • Pop the baking dish into the fridge for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the chocolate to set.

Middle Layer

  • Using your standing mixer, set mixing speed to low/medium-low to combine marshmallow fluff and chocolate hazelnut spread.
  • Remove baking dish from the fridge and add your marshmallow chocolate hazelnut "nougat" layer. Spread this layer using the best kitchen tool you have—your hands!
    This layer is a little sticky, so you may need to lightly spray some cooking oil on your fingertips to keep the nougat from sticking.
  • Pop baking dish into the fridge for another 10-15 minutes.

Top Layer

  • In a microwave safe bowl, microwave your chocolate chips and coconut oil until completely melted.
  • Pour melted chocolate over the middle layer and carefully spread with a knife or offset spatula.
  • Sprinkle sea salt over top layer before the chocolate begins to set.
  • Pop back into the fridge for another 25 minutes before cutting into squares and enjoying!
