# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Turn your oven on to 350°F (175°C). Put some parchment paper in an 8x8 inch pan, making sure it comes up the sides so you can pull everything out easily later.
02 -
Stir together ground almond meal, melted butter, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt until you get a soft dough. Push it flat into your lined pan. Bake it for 10-12 minutes until the edges turn slightly golden. Let it cool down completely.
03 -
Combine smooth peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla, and almond meal in a bowl until it's all mixed well. Spread this evenly on top of your cooled base and stick it in the freezer for at least an hour to firm up.
04 -
Mix your chocolate chips with coconut oil and melt them together. You can use a pot inside another pot with water, or just zap it in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring between.
05 -
Take your frozen layers out and grab the parchment to lift everything onto a cutting board. Cut the whole thing into 16 equal pieces.
06 -
Drop each square into your melted chocolate mix. Make sure they're totally covered, then tap off any extra chocolate and place them on some parchment paper.
07 -
If you want, drizzle any leftover chocolate on top and add a tiny bit of fancy salt. Pop them back in the freezer for about 10 minutes until the chocolate gets hard.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
These treats stay fresh longer when kept in a sealed container in your fridge or freezer.
