Ingredients
 
 

  • 125g pistachios
  • 100g walnuts roughly chopped
  • 1 tsp cardamom
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • Zest of 1 orange
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 1/2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp rose water
  • 100g dark chocolate melted

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 180C/160C fan/350F.
  • Roughly chop the walnuts, then add them to a large mixing bowl along with the rest of the ingredients.
  • Transfer into silicon moulds or a loaf tin lined with baking paper.
  • Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow to cool completely before removing from the moulds or slicing. The mixture will harden as it cools.
  • Once cooled, you can either drizzle melted dark chocolate into the moulds while the bars are still in there so the chocolate encapsulates the bars, or you can simply dip them in melted chocolate.
  • Refrigerate until the chocolate is set.
  • Optional - decorate with a sprinkle of ground pistachios and rose petals.
