Ingredients

180 g dark chocolate
1 cup crunchy peanut butter
½ cup mixed chopped nuts and seeds (almonds, pistachios, cashew nuts and sunflower seeds)
2 tablespoon maple syrup

Instructions

Break the chocolate bar into pieces and add them to a glass bowl set over a pan of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
Allow the chocolate to melt completely.
Add the peanut butter, maple syrup and chopped nuts and seeds, and allow the mixture to melt further so that all the ingredients are well combined.
Line a square baking tray (mine is 20cm wide, about 8 inches) with non stick paper, and spread the mixture in an even layer.
Leave it to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for 1 hour for the mixture to be fully set.
Use a sharp knife to cut it into squares - I got 16 squares.

Notes

If the peanut butter is too solid, you can melt it separately in a similar way you melt the chocolate, and then combine the two together, otherwise the cool solid peanut butter might make the chocolate harden before you have a chance to mix them together.
It is best to melt them over a medium heat, rather than a high heat. Do not allow the simmering water to touch the bottom of the glass bowl, it can make the chocolate grainy.
You can also use a microwave to melt the chocolate and peanut butter, but do make sure you don't use a too high heat, or they could burn.
