Chocolate “Charcuterie” with Juniper Berries and Hazelnuts

This energy-packed mixture of oats, hemp hearts, and peanut butter is studded with hazelnuts, ginger, and cranberries and is also flavoured with piney juniper. Rolled into a log and cut into slices, it’s a sweet visual play on a cured sausage. Not only does it make a brilliant dessert, but it’s a great pack-along for a walk in the forest.

Toasting hazelnuts

Tip hazelnuts into a dry saucepan on medium heat and stir constantly for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until nuts begin to brown slightly and smell fragrant.
