Meet my new snacking obsession. There was a time when I was more fond of oatmeal than muesli. But then, I discovered that I was preparing muesli exactly how I would prepare oatmeal. That was so wrong! Muesli must be soaked. Overnight if possible. Did you know that? I didn’t. The instructions are clearly specified on the packaging. Hmmm….
Once I decided to read and follow directions as I should have years ago, muesli has been my quick breakfast of choice. It’s so filling and I love to pour warm coconut milk and mix in as many berries as I possibly can. It’s such a comforting way to face what the day has in store for you.
After many months of muesli and I getting reacquainted, I decided to take a stab at creating snacks with my new friend. Bob’s Red Mill has a Gluten Free Muesli and I was over the moon when I found out my snacks could be gluten free. I loved my new friend even more.
These chocolatey sweet and salty hedgehog bars take a few minutes to prepare but they do need to be refrigerated overnight in order for them to set. Cut them up in individual portions, wrap them up in plastic wrap and sneak them into your loved one’s lunch boxes for a sweet surprise.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup coconut milk
- 2 cups dark chocolate chips
- 2 1/2 cups Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Muesli
- 1/3 cup dried coconut
- 1/2 cup salted pistachios, shelled and chopped plus 2 tablespoons extra
Instructions
- Line a 9x13 pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, place coconut milk and heat over low heat. Bring milk to a simmer and stir in chocolate. Stir until chocolate is melted and glossy.
- Place muesli and pistachios in a large bowl and mix well.
- Pour in half the chocolate mixture into muesli mixture and mix with hands to combine.
- Place muesli/chocolate mixture on prepared pan and evenly spread, covering the base of pan and into corners.
- Top with the remaining melted chocolate, extra pistachios, and dried coconut.
- Refrigerate overnight or until firm. Transfer to cutting board and cut into individual bars.
