These bars were recommended to me years ago by my physical therapist to keep my energy up during fasting days. I've been making them regularly ever since. The recipe is by Spyros Artelaris. A few more tips: it's important to use the chocolate in two batches and in two ways. This is the only way to lower the temperature at the right moment and stabilize the mixture properly.

Steps

1

Melt the 10 1/2 oz of chocolate in a double boiler. Remove from heat.
2

Add the chocolate pieces and honey, and mix with a spoon until smooth.
3

Add the cereal and raisins or cranberries, and stir until the mixture is well combined.
4

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the mixture evenly, ensuring it has the same thickness throughout. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.
5

Remove from the fridge and cut into rectangular pieces or any other shape you prefer. You should get about 18-20 pieces, depending on the size you cut them. In the photo, I've made a double batch.
6

Store at room temperature in winter, and in the fridge when it gets warm, otherwise the chocolate will melt!
