Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Squares

If you love a little treat in life, you need to make my Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Squares. They are the perfect mix of classic flavors. These are easy to make and so delicious! A little bit sweet with a hint of salty. The best part...NO baking required. You simply mix the ingredients in a bowl, press them in to a pan, top them with rich melted dark chocolate, chill, cut, and ENJOY. I love to watch them disappear! Great for an easy to make holiday treat or just because!

Base Ingredients:

1 1/2 Cups Peanut Butter, Unsweetened

1. Line a 9 x 9 inch pan with parchment paper. Set aside.

2. In a large bowl add, the peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla, coconut oil, oat flour and almond flour. mix until well combined and smooth. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan. Spread it our evenly in to the pan.

I like to wrap them individually. Store them in your refrigerator or freezer.

They're READY. Watch them disappear.
