Instructions
- Line a bread pan with parchment paper.
- Mix or blend the crust ingredients together, until dough-like. Then, evenly spread across the bottom of bread pan.
- In a small saucepan – bring the peanut butter, coconut milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to a very mild boil. Turn to low, cover and simmer for ~15 minutes (or until mixture is golden brown and starts to thicken), stirring every few minutes. Pour mixture evenly over the crust
- Sprinkle peanuts over the filling and press down with a spatula (can add more than 1/2 cup peanuts, if desired)
- Mix together cacao, melted coconut oil and maple syrup OR melt chocolate chips. Pour over top of the filling.
- Refrigerate for 1-2 hours, or until chocolate hardens and filling becomes caramel-like.

Keep any leftovers in a container in the fridge 🙂
