Instructions

Line an 8×8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almonds, peanuts, walnuts, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds.
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stir together brown rice syrup, maple syrup, and fine sea salt until smooth and warm (about 1–2 minutes).
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
Quickly pour the syrup mixture over the nuts and seeds and stir to evenly coat.
Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared pan using a spatula or parchment sheet to compress.
Place the pan in the freezer for 20–25 minutes to firm up.
Melt the dark chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Remove the nut mixture from the freezer and lift it out using the parchment.
Drizzle melted chocolate over the top and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
Return to the fridge for 10–15 minutes to set the chocolate.
Cut into bars and store in an airtight container.

Notes

Press the mixture very firmly into the pan to help the bars hold together.

Chill thoroughly before slicing to prevent crumbling.

Swap in different nuts or seeds for variety.

Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or freezer for longer shelf life.

No reheating needed since these are no-bake bars.
