# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, covering the edges for easy removal later.
02 -
Mix almond flour, melted butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt in a large bowl until combined into a dough. Press the dough into the prepared pan evenly. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden. Allow to cool.
03 -
In a medium bowl, mix peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and almond flour until smooth. Spread the mixture evenly over the cooled shortbread base and freeze for at least 1 hour to set.
04 -
Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil using a double boiler or in 30-second intervals in the microwave until smooth.
05 -
Remove the set caramel and shortbread block from the freezer. Lift it out using the parchment paper, place it on a cutting board, and slice into 16 bars.
06 -
Dip each bar into the melted chocolate, ensuring full coverage. Tap off excess chocolate and place on a parchment-lined tray. Repeat for all bars.
07 -
Optionally drizzle remaining chocolate and sprinkle flaky sea salt over bars. Freeze for 10 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
