Ingredients
- 1 cup natural peanut butter
- 1/4 cup maple syrup

- 1 & 1/4 cups almond flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips of your choice (I use semi-sweet)

Instructions
- Line your baking dish with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, mix together the peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract using a silicone spatula.
- Slowly stir in the almond flour and salt until you get a crumbly mixture.
- Next, spread the mixture into the casserole dish until evenly distributed.
- Place the chocolate chips in a medium mixing bowl.
- Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat and pour it over the chocolate chips. Mix until all of the chocolate chips are melted.
- Lastly, pour the chocolate mixture over the peanut butter crust and spread evenly.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours.
- After it has rested, you can cut the bars into your desired sizes. I cut them into 2x2-inch squares.
- These chocolate peanut butter bars can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
Notes
You can replace the heavy cream with a dairy-free cream, coconut cream or milk, or nut milk.
