Maille mustards are my favorite.  Honestly, it’s all we use in our house.  The flavors and unparalleled and always yield the perfect result in my cooking, sauces or dips.  I was so excited when Maille reached out to me and asked me to create some recipes for them.  I do have some recipes on my website and this one is by far my standard, go-to, obsessed and can’t live without balsamic garlic bread dip.  This recipe I’m sharing today was a bit of a departure from how I typically use mustard and I have to say, it was so good!  My kids, husband and father alike couldn’t get enough for the sweet and savory combination of flavors.

These little bars are NOT a big mistake… well maybe they are if you DON’T eat them!  They are clean!  Hard to believe by the way they taste.  NO added refined sugars, corn syrups or anything junky. Now they do have chocolate in them (and dark chocolate is good for you) and I used a fair trade dark chocolate but you can use what you have (either a dark bar chopped up or chips).  Heart healthy!  My friends at Oh Nuts!   sent me a bag of some huge, gorgeous, fresh walnuts and I thought of this recipe instantly!  Their nuts and dried fruits are to die for!  You can sub out your favorite nut or whatever you have on hand.  Be prepared… your family will descend quickly on these sweet bars.  Love that you can make these ahead of time too… perfect for parties, or just to prepare to have for better snacking options for your family v. store-bought, overly processed treats.

A few weeks ago, I was contacted by this company to try their product.  This isn’t that uncommon being a food blogger.  So it arrived and I remember exactly when I tried it… Black Friday.  The day after Thanksgiving when I was trying to be “oh-so-good” with the eating after the food-fest just the day prior.  We had just completed all of our Christmas decorating and I needed a snack.  BAM!  These popped into my head and I tore into the first bag (they sent me two).  I tried the almond first, my fave, and immediately I was in love!  I love quinoa!!!  It is one of the most perfect foods. Quinoa is the only grain that is a complete source of protein and the same kind of protein found in meat & dairy.  

The little delights taste like a quinoa brittle.  Sweet but not overly sweet.  Crunchy.  Just perfection!  I’m a huge quinoa fan and these honestly have my name written all over them! Here is the dietary information (also gluten free):
