Chocolate Nut Bars Recipe

This is a fantastic recipe for healthy chocolate nut bars with lots of healthy fats, protein and it also ticks all sorts of boxes:

• vegan
• low-carb
• keto friendly
• paleo
• organic
• nutritious
• delicious!

I took it except for the chocolate topping which is my usual chocolate recipe) from a book “Super Low-Carb Snacks : 100 Delicious Keto and Paleo Treats for Fat Burning and Great Nutrition” and it was a winner with all members of our family and visitors as well! I have also renamed it – the original name was “Supersmart bars” – which sounds good, but does not tell you much about the recipe – which is, after all, for Chocolate Nut Bars!
