1/2 tsp salt

1 ½ tsp vanilla

3/4 cup maple syrup

1/2 cup coconut cream top of the can, solid part of coconut milk

1-2 tbsp arrowroot powder or cornstarch

2 tbsp peanut butter

1 cup dark chocolate

1 tbsp coconut oil

Instructions:

Coconut Shortbread Layer

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper.

Combine shredded coconut, almond flour, melted coconut oil, honey, and 1/2 tsp vanilla.

Press mixture into baking pan and bake for 10 mintues until golden. Let cool.

Caramel Layer

While coconut layer is cooling – in medium sauce pan combine maple syrup and coconut cream. Bring to a boil over high heat and boil for 10 minutes, until begins to thicken.

Add arrowroot powder, peanut butter, and remaining vanilla (1tsp). Let boil for another 5 minutes than remove from heat.

Once caramel has cooled a bit (about 2-3 minutes) – Pour caramel mixture over coconut base. Put in freezer for about 30-45 minutes until caramel layer has hardened.

Chocolate Layer

Melt chocolate and coconut oil in microwave. Stir mixture every 2 minutes until completely melted.

Remove bars from freezer and cut into whatever shape you'd like. I did bars so they look like twix bars.

Dip bars into chocolate until completely coated. Put back in freezer for extra 10 mins, then enjoy! I would recommend storing them in freezer!
