Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars (Homemade Snickers)<\/h2>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t

\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t
\n\t\t

FOR THE SHORTBREAD BASE:<\/h4>
  • 1 1\/2 cups finely ground blanched almond flour (We recommend Bob\u2019s Red Mill)<\/li>
  • 3 tablespoons melted and cooled coconut oil<\/li>
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup<\/li>
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract<\/li>
  • A pinch of salt<\/li><\/ul>

    FOR THE PEANUT BUTTER LAYER:<\/h4>
    • 3\/4 cup roasted salted peanuts (roughly chopped)<\/li>
    • 3\/4 cup creamy peanut butter<\/li>
    • 1\/3 cup pure maple syrup<\/li>
    • 1\/4 cup coconut oil<\/li>
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract<\/li>
    • A dash of sea salt<\/li><\/ul>

      FOR THE CHOCOLATE LAYER:<\/h4>
      • 3\/4 cup dairy-free\/vegan chocolate chips<\/li>
      • 1 tablespoon coconut oil<\/li><\/ul>\t<\/div>\n\t
        \n\t\t
        1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8\u00d78 inch square baking pan with parchment paper for best results.<\/li>
        2. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the almond flour, cooled coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until they form a thick, crumbly texture.<\/li>
        3. Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan and use your fingertips to press it down evenly, forming a solid base. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then allow it to cool for about 10 minutes.<\/li>
        4. While the crust is cooling, sprinkle the chopped roasted peanuts evenly over it.<\/li>
        5. In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the peanut butter, maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and a dash of sea salt. Heat for about 2 minutes until it starts to gently bubble, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and pour it evenly over the layer of peanuts and the slightly cooled crust.<\/li>
        6. Place the pan in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes to allow the peanut butter layer to firm up, or speed up the process by placing it in the freezer for 15-20 minutes.<\/li>
        7. After chilling, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in the microwave or on the stovetop until smooth. Pour the melted chocolate evenly over the peanut butter layer.<\/li>
        8. Return the pan to the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the chocolate to solidify and the bars to cool completely.<\/li>
        9. Once set, remove the bars from the pan and cut them into 16 bars. Slice the slab in half, then cut each half into 8 bars measuring about 1 inch in width.<\/li>
        10. Enjoy your homemade bars! Store them covered in the refrigerator until you’re ready to indulge.<\/li><\/ol>\t<\/div>\n\t
