Servings: 12 bars 1x

Ingredients

Cookie base:

  • 1/2 cup refined coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup agave nectar (honey, coconut nectar, or maple syrup works too)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups blanched almond flour
  • couple pinches of sea salt

Caramel:

  • 1 can (15 oz) unsweetened coconut cream
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • couple pinches of sea salt
  • 1 cup salted peanuts

Chocolate topping:

  • 1 cup of dairy free dark chocolate, melted
  • flaked sea salt for sprinkling on top

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  2. Line an 8×8” square pan with parchment paper so you can easily remove the bars when they’re done setting.
  3. In a bowl whisk together the coconut oil, agave nectar, vanilla, almond flour, and sea salt. I found it easiest to use a rubber spatula to fold everything until completely combined.
  4. Transfer the batter to the pan lined with parchment paper.
  5. Press the dough into the bottom of your pan to create an even base and bake for 12 minutes until golden brown.
  6. While the base is baking, make your caramel.
  7. In a saucepan, bring the coconut cream, coconut sugar, vanilla, and sea salt to a boil over medium-high heat. Whisk frequently for about 10-15 minutes until it thickens up and the color darkens. Remove from the heat.
  8. When the cookie base is done baking, allow to sit for 10 minutes.
  9. Give the caramel one more whisk and pour over the cookie base.
  10. Sprinkle the peanuts on top of the caramel and freeze for 1 hour.
  11. Remove the base from the freezer and cut into 12 bars.
  12. Place the bars on a cooling rack with a piece of parchment paper laying underneath to catch any drips.
  13. Melt the chocolate and drizzle it over the top of your set caramel layer.
  14. Sprinkle with flaked sea salt and place it back into the fridge for 15 minutes for the chocolate to harden.
  15. Enjoy!!
