These No Bake Peanut Butter Chocolate Bars are your answer to a quick and healthy dessert. Make these for the chocolate peanut butter lover in your life!
Servings: 9
Ingredients
For the Bars:
- 1 ½ cups creamy peanut butter (plus more to swirl on top)
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- ⅓ cup coconut flour
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- 6 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
For the Ganache:
- 1 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
- ½ cup coconut cream (from the top of a can of coconut milk) + a few tablespoons of coconut water from the can (or water)
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
For the Topping:
- Flaky sea salt
Instructions
Make the Bars:
- Add the peanut butter, almond flour, coconut flour, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt to a mixing bowl and stir until a thick dough forms.
- To a wax paper-lined 8x8 dish, press the peanut cookie dough mixture into an even layer.
Make the Ganache:
- To a saucepan over low heat, make the ganache by combining the chocolate chips and coconut cream. Stir often.
- Add the kosher salt and a few tablespoons of the coconut water from the can (Note: if you bought only coconut cream, you can use water to thin). Add only a tablespoon of coconut water at a time to thin the ganache. You’re looking for a creamy pudding-like texture.
Assemble:
- Spread the ganache over the top of the peanut butter dough mixture using a spatula.
- Drizzle additional peanut butter over the top, and drag a toothpick or knife through the peanut butter to make a swirling design.
- Refrigerate for an hour to cool the ganache and set the bars. Slice and serve (chilled or at room temperature).
- ENJOY!!
