Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick rounds and arrange them on a baking sheet.

  2. Step 2

    Toast the bread in the oven for 5-7 minutes, until the edges are golden and the bread feels crisp but still slightly soft in the center.

  3. Step 3

    Spread about 1 tablespoon of chocolate spread onto each toasted crostini while they are still warm, so it melts slightly.

  4. Step 4

    Roughly chop the mixed nuts into small pieces. Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of chopped nuts over each crostini, pressing gently so they stick.

  5. Step 5

    Sprinkle a pinch of coconut flakes over each crostini. Serve immediately, while the bread is still crisp and the chocolate is soft.

  6. Step 6

    If you like, add a pinch of sea salt or a drizzle of honey on top for extra flavor.
