    Instructions

    (Stops screen from sleeping)
    1. Preheat oven to 180°°C. Line 20cm-square baking tin with baking paper.
    2. In a bowl, mix all ingredients except cacao nibs until well combined.
    3. Tip mixture into the baking tray. Spread evenly, sprinkle with cacao nibs and press down firmly. Bake for 15-20 minutes until firm and golden. Allow to cool for 5 minutes and firm up a bit in the tray, before tipping onto a flat surface and slicing into 24 pieces.
    4. Store in airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

    Variations

    If you can’t find cacao nibs, use chocolate chips instead.

    HFG tip

    You can chop nuts way bigger than pictured.

    Use fresh olive oil because the taste gets stronger as it ages.

      We had to make some modifications in this one. Took out the orange (as miss 9 doesn’t like orange). Switched hazelnuts for pecans and used 3 Tbsp choc chips instead of coco nibs. Unfortunately didn’t use the right size pan so the recipe didn’t actually set. We ended up making them into biscuits and baking again (same time same temperature) and they set 2nd go. They are pretty delicious as biscuits taste a bit like florentines.
