Hazelnut Toffee Barks

(Recipe adapted from Civilized Caveman Cooking – see original recipe here)

4 cups fresh apple juice

2 tbsp coconut oil

Pinch of salt

A handful of hazelnut

Preheat oven to 180c

Pour apple juice into a medium saucepan, bring to boil then reduce medium heat. Let juice simmer for about 30 minutes.

While the juice is simmering, place hazelnuts into oven for about 15 minutes, until golden. Remove from oven, chop nuts, set aside.

Place a piece of baking paper on a baking tray, set aside for later use.

When juice mixture thickens into the consistency of warmed honey and turns into dark brown (caramel color), remove from heat, allow it to cool slightly. Bring it back on the stove, on LOW heat, stir in coconut oil, add in a small pinch of salt, and stir until emulsified.

Pour mixture on the prepared baking tray, you may have to use the back of a spoon to spread the mixture thinly. Sprinkle chopped hazelnuts onto toffee, press gently onto nuts.

Place tray into fridge until the toffee bark hardens.

Once harden, remove from fridge, and break into pieces.
