4-Ingredient Fudgy Peanut Butter Bars
Ingredients
- Base:
- 1 cup Natural Peanut Butter (creamy and unsalted)
- 1/3 cup Honey or Maple Syrup (use Sugar-Free Syrup for a diabetic-friendly version)
- 2 cups Blanched Almond Flour
- Topping:
- 1/2 cup Dark Chocolate Chips (70% cocoa or higher)
- 1 tbsp Peanut Butter (to make the chocolate smooth)
- Optional: Flaky Sea Salt for garnish
Instructions
- Mix the Base: In a large bowl, whisk together the peanut butter and honey until smooth. Fold in the almond flour and mix until a thick dough forms.
- Press into Pan: Line an 8×8-inch square pan with parchment paper. Press the dough firmly into the pan using a spatula or your hands until even.
- Melt the Chocolate: Combine the chocolate chips and 1 tbsp of peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until completely melted and glossy.
- Layer and Salt: Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter base. Spread it evenly. Sprinkle with a pinch of flaky sea salt while the chocolate is still wet.
- Set and Slice: Place in the freezer for 30–60 minutes or until the chocolate has hardened. Lift the parchment paper out, slice into bars, and enjoy!
