1/2 cup	Walnuts (chopped; or pecans (about 1/2 c 2 tbsp total))
1/2 cup	Almond flour/meal, Bob's Red Mill

First make sure your nuts are chopped. It's easier just to buy pre chopped but both work.
In a skillet or pan, toast chopped nuts, almond meal, coconut oil , and salt until lightly coated toasted, about 2 minutes to 3 minutes max.
Mix in honey until it bubbles, then remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
Next place your nuts in a bowl and mix in almond butter or tahini , extract, and coconut flour.
Spread and flatten into 8x8 dish to cool.
Refrigerate or freeze for 30 minutes.
Slice into into squares and wrap each square in plastic wrap or foil to hold the texture.
Keep in fridge due to coconut oil
