Why You'll Keep Making This
This treat is quick to make and requires just a few simple ingredients. It’s naturally dairy-free and perfect for anyone looking for a tasty vegan snack. Plus, the combination of creamy cashews and rich chocolate is always a winner.
Directions
Lin a shallow baking dish with some parchment paper to keep things easy to clean up. In a microwave-safe bowl, mix together the chocolate chips, almond butter, and maple syrup. Heat the mixture in 30-second bursts, giving it a good stir each time until everything is melted and smooth. Once melted, stir in the chopped cashews until they’re evenly coated. Pour the mixture into the lined dish and spread it out evenly. Pop it in the fridge for about 30 minutes, or until it’s firm. When it’s set, cut it into squares and enjoy!
