# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Put parchment paper in an 8x8 inch pan with extra hanging over the sides so you can pull it out easily when done.
02 -
Combine ground almond meal with the melted butter, maple syrup, vanilla flavor and salt in a big bowl until it forms a soft dough. Push it down flat in your lined pan. Bake it for 10-12 minutes till you see golden edges. Let it cool down completely.
03 -
Mix together the smooth peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla and almond meal in a bowl until it's all blended smooth. Layer this mix on top of your cooled base and stick it in the freezer for at least an hour to get firm.
04 -
Melt your chocolate morsels with coconut oil. You can use a pot of water with a bowl on top or just pop it in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring between each round.
05 -
Take your frozen layered block out using the paper edges. Put it on a cutting board and cut it into 16 equal squares.
06 -
Dunk each square into your melted chocolate mix. Make sure they're totally covered, then tap off any extra chocolate. Place them on a tray lined with parchment.
07 -
You can drizzle leftover chocolate on top and add some sea salt flakes if you want. Pop them in the freezer for about 10 minutes so the chocolate gets hard.
