- Food scale
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Mixing bowl
Ingredients
Protein Base
- 160 grams superfine blanched almond flour
- 40 grams vanilla protein powder
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 50 grams pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 50 grams refined coconut oil (melted )
- 320 grams homemade date caramel sauce (store bought works too)
- 80 grams roasted salted peanuts (roughly chopped)
Chocolate Topping
- 170 grams dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 12 grams refined coconut oil
Instructions
-
Prepare the pan. Line an 8×8-inch or 9x9 inch baking pan or dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
-
Make the base. In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, vanilla protein powder, and sea salt. Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil, then stir until a soft dough forms.
-
Press into the pan. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and press it into an even layer using the back of a spoon, an offset spatula, or your hands. If it is not coming together, add a little more maple syrup or coconut oil.
-
Add the caramel. Spread 1 batch (about 320 g) of my Homemade Date Caramel Sauce evenly over the chilled base.
-
Sprinkle on the peanuts. Evenly scatter the chopped roasted salted peanuts over the caramel, gently pressing them into the surface so they stick.
-
Make the chocolate topping. Add the chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted.
-
Finish the bark. Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut layer and spread into an even layer. If desired, sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
-
Chill. Refrigerate for 1–2 hours, or until the chocolate is completely set and the bark is firm.
-
Slice and serve. Lift the bark out of the pan using the parchment paper, then cut into squares or bars with a sharp knife. Enjoy straight from the refrigerator, or let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving for a softer bite.
