8 ounces unsweetened baker's chocolate you'll find it in the baking aisle at the store - orange box
1/2 cup brown rice syrup or pure maple syrup
1/2 cup honey
dash of kosher or sea salt
2 cups roasted peanuts any type of nuts will work here
1 tablespoon oil I used unrefined coconut oil...canola will also work

Add all ingredients to a heavy saucepan and turn to low heat. Stir until chocolate is completed melted.
Once everything is melted and well mixed together, you can start spooning the mixture in small bits onto a parchment-lined cookie sheets or some other moveable item that will fit into your fridge for cooling. Just be sure you use the parchment. Remember, these are supposed to be bite-sized chocolate candies. Not family-size candy bars.
Put the cookie sheets in the fridge and allow to cool for a minimum of 3 hours. More is better.
STORAGE: Store in a Ziploc bag in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
