I love how what you eat instead of chocolate is chocolate.

"They will keep in the fridge for months." On what planet will that happen? 🤣 What a great way to get your chocolate fix with only pure ingredients. I can't wait to give this a try, but I'm already sure it will disappear pretty quickly from our fridge. Thanks so much, Sasha. Another winner.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Loved your crunchy nut demonstration, by the way.)

My mother made this for Christmas in the 70-ies when I was small. She used hazelnuts and raisins, sometimes a little orange zest too. I love it!

I’ve made this before, but used 99% dark chocolate with nuts and naturally dried fruit pieces for sweetness (which it needed. 99% is rough). Good stuff

I once did that with 85% dark chocolate.I roasted some walnuts, almonds and pumpkin seeds.Added a little bit of raw mangrove honey. It tasted really good.

Chocolate. Chocolate. He eats chocolate instead of chocolate.

I Think a lot of you are missing the point. Hes making it himself so he knows what's in it versus buying a chocolate bar and there might be additives and other processed stuff inside of it

I found a dark chocolate at wall mart by Lindor and it’s sugar free ! I made this snack and it’s absolutely delicious thanks for sharing it with us! I’m on intermittent fasting to loose weight so I’m doing zero sugar and so I have a hour feeding window and I end it with a piece of this lovely treat 😊

[gloriousharmony]

I love this idea to stretch out the quality chocolate and make to your own recipe. I will add to the nuts my toasted pumpkin and sunflower seeds, maybe top with a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds. Thank you Sasha you are definitely my smart cook.

It might be "healhier".. but adding different types of textures and tastes to a dark chocolate will probably make you eat more of it.

I took an idea from a woman on Facebook and made healthy fudge with chocolate and peanut butter (50-50). But I used 100% dark chocolate and added honey for sweetness, and then added the peanut butter. Yours seems like another nice idea to try :)

I started melting different brands of dark chocolate from 60% to 100% cocoa together (I like variety LOL) then adding nuts and making my own bark or put them in those mini muffin cups for nut clusters to give as gifts, but I never thought about roasting the nuts first! Especially in the air fryer! I’ll try that next time! Also, the idea of putting oats and raisins in it sounds good too! 😋
Thanks for sharing!

Made this today. So simple and healthy, why did I buy chocolate like this and never think of making it myself??? 💡??? Have eaten two bars and they are dangerously delicious!!! Thanks Mr Smart 😊

[CC-travels]

Love this idea. Being gluten and dairy free makes it difficult to find yummy options. This is perfect.

[CarmelFan]

Brilliant use of air fryer with maple syrup. Love this. Can’t wait to make it

[ashesforsunshine]

Haha him recording his chewing was hilarious and adorable. Great channel, keep it up!

[vidyasampathkumar]

Oooh! I just finished a tough workout and this is exactly what I need!! Yum I will definitely make these ...so much better than store bought. Thank you as always, O thoughtful kind Sasha!!

[chocolatefanatic]

Love how simple your ingredients are. Thanks

[jameslangschied]

Isn't it fantastic that good-quality chocolate is good for you. And the nuts are ... yep ... good for you. And when you make and share with family ... that also is good for you. Wouldn't it be an incredible thing if everything that we crave was good for you? Thanks for such a quick, no-nonsense recipe for a healthy snack.

Excellent idea, thanks for sharing! Adding ginger pieces would also make for a great flavour too 😋
