Preparation

Step 1

In batches, grind the nuts in a food processor until you have a fine meal. Be careful not to grind them into nut butter, though!

Remove ground nuts to a large mixing bowl and add the remaining ingredients for the crust. Mix well to combine.

Melt the chocolate in the microwave with the butter or coconut oil.

Line an 8×8 inch dish with foil or parchment paper and grease lightly. Press half of the crust mixture into the bottom of the dish. Pour half of the chocolate on top and spread to the edges. Refrigerate until the chocolate is mostly hardened. Then remove from the refrigerator and spread on the second layer of crust, then top with the remaining chocolate (you might have to re-heat the chocolate in the microwave if it has hardened). Sprinkle on slivered almonds and coconut. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours, or until completely firm. Cut into squares and make a meal out of them
