These come together in one bowl with no oven required — just melt, mix, portion, and let the fridge do the rest.
Dark chocolate with a high cocoa percentage and walnuts both appear in this recipe because they're often included in stress-relief-focused treats, offering a bit of a mood boost without loading up on sugar the way milk chocolate does. The chia seeds add a subtle crunch, and the flaky sea salt on top balances the bitterness of the chocolate.
Refrigerate until firm, then store in an airtight container for a make-ahead treat whenever you need a small moment of calm.
