When one of our favorite retailers shared a video with this recipe, we couldn’t wait to try it with Portoula honey. A few tweaks later, it’s become our go-to when we’re craving something sweet, crunchy, and a little more wholesome.

Ingredients

125 gr pistachios (1 cup)
100 g walnuts, roughly chopped (3/4 cup + 1 Tbs)
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cardamom
pinch ground cloves
zest of one lemon
zest of one orange
2 1/2 Tbs portoula OAK honey
1/2 tsp rose water
100 gr dark chocolate, melted (about 3/4 cup)
To garnish:
crushed pistachios
rose petals (see notes for sourcing info)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350F
Roughly chop the walnuts, then add to a large mixing bowl along with the pistachios, spices, zest, honey, and rose water. Mix well with rubber spatula.
Transfer into silicone molds.
Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow to cool completely; the mixture will harden as it cools.
Once cooled, use a spoon to drizzle melted dark chocolate into the molds so the chocolate encapsulates the bars. You can also dip them in melted chocolate.
Refrigerate until the chocolate is set.
To serve, garnish with a sprinkle of ground pistachios and rose petals.

Notes

Feel free to use whatever nuts you like or have on hand to make this recipe, and use whatever spices you like!
If you don't have rose water, just omit it.
You can also make this in a loaf pan, using parchment paper to line the pan. You will have to cut the bars when cooled, then dip in melted chocolate.
We source our rose petals from Curio Spice (www.curiospice.com).
