Whether you’re sneaking one from the freezer after the kids go to bed or serving them at a summer get-together, these bars are a refreshing way to satisfy your sweet tooth without ever breaking a sweat.
Peanut Butter Caramel Bars
Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup creamy almond butter
- 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2/3 cup pure maple syrup
- 2/3 cup ghee (can sub melted coconut oil – but the consistency will be more like toffee)
- 2 tsp vanilla
- Pinch of salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips + 1 TBS coconut oil
Directions:
- Combine the coconut oil and syrup in a small saucepan over medium high heat. Bring it to a boil, and let it bubble for one minute.
- Remove from heat and stir in nut butters, vanilla and pinch of salt
- Use a mini muffin tin, candy mold, or lined loaf pan and divide the mixture evenly. Freeze for an hour.
- Combine chocolate chips and 1 TBS coconut oil and melt in microwave (doesn’t take long- do in 30 second intervals and stir each time)
- Spread melted chocolate evenly among bars. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if you choose! Place back in the freezer until firm and enjoy!
