Chocolate Nut and Seed Slice is one of the recipes that will always hit the spot. It is super quick to make, making it perfect for the surprise manuhiri (guests) that turn up. If you are living that keto life, you can also use a sugar free chocolate and make it fully keto. He māmā noa iho - so easy!

Ingredient Tips for the Chocolate Nut and Seed Slice:

Ingredients are in different vintage bowls and are sitting on a wooden board on top of wooden table. There is a large pink hydrangea n the background and an amber candle burning.
  • Dark chocolate: I prefer the flavour of dark chocolate in this recipe but use what you want. If you want to make it keto, use sugar-free chocolate.
  • Coconut oil: This works well in this recipe and is a great dairy free product. It can also be swapped for butter.
  • Almond butter: You can use any nut butter that you want in this recipe, it can also be swapped out for Biscoff or Nutella as well.
  • Muesli: I love keto muesli in this recipe because it is jammed packed with toasted nuts and seeds but you can use your favourite granola too. 

Expert Tips:

You can absolutely swap ingredients in this slice. This recipe is so flexible and I recommend getting those ingredients that need using and throwing them in. You may need to add a bit of extra pata (butter) or tiakarete (chocolate) if you are adding a lot of extra dry ingredients. However, at the end of the day, make the recipe yours!

Step by Step Instructions for the Chocolate Nut and Seed Slice:

2. Melt the Chocolate:

Break up the tiakarete (chocolate) in to pieces, add it along with the hinu kokonati (coconut oil) to a pot.

Set it over low heat and gently melt it all together. 

Remove from the heat and add it to a bowl or leave it in the pot.

5. Chill:

Whakamātaohia (refrigerate) the slice or bark for 30 minutes. 

Once set, it is ready to eat like that. You can also make this simple topping if you want.
