Ingredients

Shortbread Layer

1.5 cups Almond Flour For a gluten-free base
3 tbsp Butter (melted) Use unsalted butter
1.5 tbsp Maple Syrup Sweetener for the base
0.5 tsp Vanilla Extract For flavor
0.25 tsp Salt To balance sweetness

Creamy Peanut Butter Layer

1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter Can substitute with almond butter
0.33 cup Maple Syrup For sweetness
1 tsp Vanilla Extract For flavor
0.25 cup Almond Flour To thicken the layer

Chocolate Coating

1 cup Chocolate Chips Use semi-sweet or dark chocolate
1.5 tbsp Coconut Oil To help melt the chocolate smoothly

Method

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix 1 1/2 cups almond flour, 3 tbsp melted butter, 1 1/2 tbsp maple syrup, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, and 1/4 tsp salt until it forms a dough.
Press the mixture into the baking pan and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown. Let it cool.

Making the Peanut Butter Layer

In another bowl, mix 1 cup peanut butter, 1/3 cup maple syrup, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup almond flour until smooth.
Spread this creamy mix over the cooled shortbread and freeze for at least 1 hour.

Chocolate Coating

Melt 1 cup chocolate chips and 1 1/2 tbsp coconut oil together.
Dip each bar into the melted chocolate, tapping off the excess, and place them on a parchment-lined tray.
Freeze for about 10 minutes until the chocolate hardens.

Notes

For the best results, allow the bars to freeze long enough to firm up before cutting and dipping. Store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer for later enjoyment!
