Chocolate Brazil Nut Slab
This one’s a new-y, it’s chewy and a little gooey! It’s a cross between a brownie and fudge, so delicious. This brownie-fudge hybrid is full of clean and healthy ingredients, that won’t leave you feeling sludgy and full of regrets. Just a little square of this slab, teamed with a cup of tea or coffee is sure to brighten your day!
When looking for healthy ingredients, the brazil nut is rarely the first nut to come to my mind. However, the humble brazil nut has many nutritional benefits. They are full of healthy fats, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. They are particularly high in selenium, which is a potent antioxidant. Also, they have an almost creamy texture, which goes great in this slab. However, get creative as possible ‘add-ins’ are endless when it comes to this delicious slab!
