- 2 tablespoons honey
ingredients
For the Caramel Layer
- 1/2 cup (125 grams) peanut butter
- 1/4 cup (52 grams) coconut oil
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup (80 grams) maple syrup

For the Chocolate Topping

Method
To make the shortbread base:
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the almond flour, melted coconut oil, and honey. Mix until a dough forms.
Step 3
Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a lined baking tin. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely.
To make the caramel layer:
Step 1
In a separate bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and maple syrup until smooth.
Step 2
Pour the caramel mixture over the cooled shortbread base, spreading it evenly. Place the tin in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until the caramel is fully set.
Add the chocolate topping:
Step 1
Melt the dark chocolate with the coconut oil in the microwave or using a double boiler, stirring until smooth.
Step 2
Remove the caramel-topped shortbread from the freezer and cut it into bars.
Step 3
Dip each bar into the melted chocolate to coat. Place them on a parchment-lined tray and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
Chill and serve:
Step 1
Let the bars sit at room temperature until the chocolate sets, or place them back in the freezer for quicker setting. Enjoy chilled or at room temperature!
Step 2
Store the bars in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, or in the freezer for up to a month.
