Ingredients

Peanut butter base

  • 1 cup blanched almond flour
  • 1/2 cup natural creamy peanut butter (no sugar added)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/3 cup powdered monk fruit sweetener
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Chocolate layer

  • 2/3 cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon natural creamy peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil

Directions

  1. Line an 8 x 8-inch pan with parchment, leaving some hanging over two sides as handles.
  2. Stir the melted butter, 1/2 cup peanut butter, powdered sweetener, vanilla and salt until smooth. Stir in the almond flour until it forms a soft, thick dough.
  3. Press the dough evenly into the pan with your fingers or the bottom of a measuring cup.
  4. Microwave the chocolate chips, 1 tablespoon peanut butter and coconut oil in 20-second bursts, stirring each time, until just melted and glossy.
  5. Spread the chocolate over the base in a thin even layer.
  6. Refrigerate at least 2 hours, until the chocolate is firm. Lift out with the parchment, let stand 5 minutes, then cut into 16 squares with a hot knife.
Tip: Store the bars in the fridge. They soften at room temperature, which makes them perfect after about 5 minutes on the counter.
Dad jokeI would tell you a joke about these peanut butter bars, but I am afraid you would spread it around.
