Zespri SunGold Kiwifruit and Ginger Energy Bars

Method

1. In a food processor, place the peeled Zespri SunGold Kiwifruit and blend until smooth.
2. Add the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, oats, ground ginger to the food processor and blitz until well combined.
3. Transfer the contents to a mixing bowl.
4. Roughly chop the pistachios and add to the bowl along with the chopped hazelnuts and pumpkin seeds. Stir everything together until well distributed.
5. Line a square baking tin with baking paper and transfer the mix into the tin. Spread out evenly with the back of a metal spoon. Using the same spoon, make small indentations in the mix to place a slice of Kiwifruit in each one.
6. Add the slices of Zespri SunGold Kiwifruit to the top then place the tin in the fridge.
7. Allow to set for 2 hours.
8. Remove the tin from the fridge and slice into 10-12 bars (depending on how big/small you would like them).
9. Melt the dark chocolate in the microwave or in a small bowl over a pan of simmering water.
10. Dunk the end of each bar in the melted chocolate and place on a piece of baking paper to cool.
11. Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
