Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, melted butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until all ingredients form a dough.
  3. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the lined baking pan.
Baking
  1. Bake the shortbread in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Set aside to cool.
Making Caramel Filling
  1. In a medium bowl, mix together peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and almond flour until smooth.
  2. Spread the caramel mixture evenly over the cooled shortbread layer.
  3. Freeze for at least 1 hour to allow caramel to set.
Chocolate Coating
  1. Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil together until smooth.
Assembling the Bars
  1. Remove the pan from the freezer and lift out the block using the parchment paper. Slice into 16 bars.
  2. Dip each bar into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully covered, and tap off excess chocolate.
  3. Place bars on a parchment-lined tray and repeat for all bars.
  4. Drizzle any remaining melted chocolate over bars and sprinkle with flaky sea salt, if desired.
  5. Return tray to freezer for about 10 minutes, or until chocolate has hardened.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer. For added crunch, mix chopped nuts into the peanut butter layer. Experiment with different nut butters for a flavor variation.
