 Here is a delicious treat you can make for family or bring it to a party or a holiday celebration, Christmas coming up maybe. These are sunflower seed bars that are rich, creamy and chocolatey. It's easy to make, it's a crowd pleaser and it's relatively healthy. Keep in mind, it is dessert. These bars are gluten free and I've kept it as low in sugar as possible without sacrificing flavor. I'm rockin' Robin and I'm gonna show you how to make them right after my chef joke. So here's chef joke number one. So last week, I got bit by a rattlesnake. Now fortunately, my uncle's wife, well she came over and she showered me with just money and cookies and gifts and I was glad for the antidote. So our bars here are in three layers. We have our cookie layer and that's where we're gonna start with. So for that we're gonna need some siete cookie crumbs and for that you're gonna wanna pick up the Mexican shortbread version because they have several different flavors and this one has a nice cinnamon-y flavor to it. So we're gonna place one package of these cookies into a food processor and then we're gonna grind these up into small pieces and you wanna break these down so there's no big pieces. The best thing to do is to turn off the processor and then just take your hand and feel for any lumps and if you have some more then just smash them just like you would the like button if you're enjoying this video. I'm gonna pour the crumbs right into a baking dish it's about a eight by six approximately and then we're gonna add some Kerry Gold butter to our mix and we're gonna melt that in the microwave. Once that butter is melted, give it a little stir and then add it to the cookie crumbs. Remember you can get the written recipe below the video in the description area, check it out. So you're just gonna stir that butter in so that the crumbs end up looking like wet sand. Then you're gonna use your hands to press the crumbs down into the bottom of the dish so that it's nice and even and firm. And then we're gonna place this into a 350 degree Fahrenheit oven for 10 minutes. Once that is done, go ahead and pull it out and we're gonna let it cool for 10, 15 minutes at least and then we're gonna put it in the refrigerator to cool completely. Now let's begin our middle layer with some sunflower seed butter. Now if you haven't seen this before it's actually roasted sunflower seeds with a little bit of added sugar and salt. So I'm gonna take a cup of this sunflower butter and place it into a saucepan. And to that we're gonna add one more ingredient, some cacao butter wafers. Now these have absolutely no flavor but what they're gonna do is they're gonna help with the texture so they're gonna make this nice and creamy and they're also gonna make it when it's refrigerated to firm up. Now we're gonna wanna use about a quarter cup of these but it's more precise when you use a scale so you're gonna want about 30 grams. And we'll add this to the sunflower butter. All we do now is place this on the stove over low heat. Once the wafers are completely melted and mixed into the sun butter then we're gonna pour it on top of our cookie crust. Pour this evenly as you can over the top of the crust and just try and cover it and because it's so liquidy it will even itself out almost automatically. Now this is gonna go back in the fridge. Now this time it's gonna take a bit longer for this to firm up so you're gonna have to have it in there for at least four to five hours and preferably overnight. Okay so while our bars are chilling in the refrigerator it must be time for chef joke number two. What do you call an island entirely populated by cupcakes? Desserted. If you have a silly joke that you wanna share with me leave it down in the comments, I'd love to hear it and I might even share it in my next video. Once our first two layers are firmed up in the refrigerator either by four hours or overnight we're ready to add our chocolate layer. So I'm using Goutard semi-sweet chocolate baking bars. So all we have to do here is break the bar into smaller pieces and place them into a saucepan. Now I'm gonna add some Kerrygold pure Irish butter which is from grass fed cows. We're gonna start with a tablespoon and then we're gonna add more until we get the consistency of the chocolate that we want. It needs to be pourable. So I'll take this over to the stove and place it over low heat. You wanna watch this close and stir it constantly and once that first tablespoon of butter gets mixed in then you're gonna wanna add probably some more depending on how thick it is. This is still a bit thick for me so we're gonna add some more butter. Mix that in and stir it in so that you can tell if you need to add more, go ahead. Otherwise you want it nice and pourable like this. If at any point you notice your chocolate is starting to boil, we don't want that. So either turn off the heat or lift the pan off the hot burner. Burnt chocolate just doesn't taste good so keep an eye on it and get this kind of consistency. Drizzle that beautiful chocolate right over the top and then spread it out with a spatula. Spread out the chocolate nice and even and then this is going back in the refrigerator for probably at least another hour. Now you'll notice the chocolate has a nice matte finish once it's chilled, now it's ready to be cut. So when you go to serve this, make sure that you run your knife along the edge of the chocolate layer to release it. Now getting that first piece out is always a challenge and it evens stuck a little bit but stay with it, you'll get it and it comes out nice and easy. Look at those beautiful layers. This thing is rich and delicious. That cookie crust has a nice cinnamon flavor and of course that center layer is silky smooth and creamy and of course the last layer is chocolate which we all love, you guys are gonna love this. If you like chocolate desserts you're gonna wanna try my homemade chocolate pudding. It is creamy and delicious.
