Ingredients

• 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
• 0.333 cup Coconut oil
• 0.25 cup Honey or maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons Chopped peanuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8-inch baking dish or similar sized pan with parchment paper, leaving enough overhang to easily lift the bars out later.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, coconut oil, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Stir until smooth and well blended.

Step 3

Spread the peanut butter mixture evenly into the prepared pan, smoothing it out with a spatula.

Step 4

Melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between to ensure it doesn’t overheat. Alternatively, melt the chocolate using a double boiler on the stovetop.

Step 5

Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer in the pan and spread it evenly with a spatula or back of a spoon.

Step 6

If desired, sprinkle the chopped peanuts over the chocolate layer for extra texture and crunch.

Step 7

Place the pan in the freezer and allow the bars to set for at least 1 hour or until completely firm.

Step 8

Once set, lift the parchment paper out of the pan and place on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to cut into 12 bars or smaller squares, depending on your preference.

Step 9

Store the bars in an airtight container in the freezer. Let them soften for a minute or two at room temperature before serving.
