No-Bake Chocolate Layer Bars

These delicious bars are the perfect quick treat when you want something decadent without the oven. They combine a crunchy, nutty base with a smooth chocolate finish, creating a beautiful layered look that is sure to impress.

Ingredients

  • 300g crushed biscuits (sugar-free or digestive style)

  • 1 cup roasted peanuts or walnuts, finely chopped

  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder

  • 1/2 cup almond butter (or peanut butter)

  • 1/4 cup sugar-free syrup (or honey)

  • 150g dark chocolate chips (melted)

  • 1 tbsp coconut oil

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: In a large bowl, mix the 300g crushed biscuits, 1 cup chopped nuts, and 2 tbsp cocoa powder until well combined.

  2. Bind the Mixture: Add the 1/2 cup almond butter and 1/4 cup syrup. Stir well until a thick, sticky dough forms. If it feels too dry, add a small splash of milk or extra syrup.

  3. Press into Pan: Line a square baking dish with parchment paper. Transfer the mixture into the dish and press it down firmly and evenly using the back of a spoon or a flat glass. This ensures the bars hold their shape.

  4. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the 150g dark chocolate chips and 1 tbsp coconut oil. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely smooth and glossy.

  5. Layer and Decorate: Pour the melted chocolate over the base and spread it evenly to the edges. For the drizzled effect seen in the photo, set aside a small spoonful of melted chocolate and zigzag it over the top once the first layer has slightly set.

  6. Chill and Serve: Place the tray in the refrigerator for about 30–60 minutes until the chocolate is firm.

  7. Slicing: Use a sharp knife to cut into even rectangles. For clean edges, dip your knife in hot water and wipe it dry before each cut.

Storage Tip

Store these bars in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. They are best served chilled!
