Melt coconut oil in a bain marie on the stove top, or in a crock pot on lowest setting or leave it in the jar in a container of hot water until it is liquid):
— 1 cup coconut oil

Blend until a coarse meal in a food processor (20 seconds):
— 2 cups of nuts of your choice

Blend until smooth in a food processor (1 minute):
— Coconut oil from above
— 1 cup maple syrup
— 2 2/3 cups cacao powder
— 2 Tbsp. vanilla paste or vanilla extract
— 2 tsp. sea salt of your choice
— 1 Tbsp. lemon juice

Mix by hand in a large bowl until well blended:
— 1 1/2 cups ground nut mixture from above
— 1 1/2 cups dried fruit & seed mix of your juice (ideas include cranberries, raisins, chopped apricots, blueberries, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds, chia seeds, etc.)

Spread the mixture into a parchment lined 9″ x 13″ tray by hand until generally level

Smooth completely level with a pastry spreader
