I look forward to chestnut season every year and can barely wait to try out new recipes. These chestnut and chocolate bars are one of my favourites. They are very easy to make and combine two of my favourite flavours – chestnut and chocolate. The sea salt on top gives the bars a special kick.

How it's done

Chestnut mixture

In a food processor, puree the chestnuts with all the other ingredients up to and including the coconut oil until you have a sticky mixture. Transfer the mixture to the prepared tin, press down, cover and freeze for approx. 20 mins.

Chocolate

Place the chocolate and coconut oil in a thin-sided bowl and suspend over a gently simmering bain-marie, ensuring that the bowl does not touch the water. Melt the chocolate, stir until smooth. Pour the chocolate on top of the chestnut mixture, sprinkle with fleur de sel. Cover and chill for approx. 1 hr., cut into bars.
