- 1 cup crunchy peanut butter: Offers a rich, nutty base that complements the other ingredients.
- 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup: Provides natural sweetness and helps bind the ingredients together.

Instructions
- Mix the Base Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, and powdered sugar. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
- Incorporate the Nuts: Add the salted mixed nuts to the peanut butter mixture. Stir until the nuts are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Prepare the Baking Dish: Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal. Press the mixture into the dish, spreading it evenly to ensure uniform thickness.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
- Create the Chocolate Layer: Pour the melted chocolate over the nut mixture in the baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it evenly across the surface.
- Chill and Set: Place the baking dish in the refrigerator for about 1 hour, or until the chocolate is set and the bars are firm.
- Cut and Serve: Once set, remove the Salted Nut Roll from the dish and cut it into bars. Serve and enjoy this sweet and salty delight!
