Method
 

Directions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, stir together almond flour, melted butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined. Press mixture into the prepared baking pan and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown. Let cool completely.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine creamy peanut butter, extra maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a bit of almond flour. Mix until creamy and spread over cooled shortbread base. Freeze for at least 1 hour.
  4. Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in the microwave until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
  5. Lift the filled shortbread from the freezer, slice into 16 equal bars, and dip each bar into the melted chocolate, ensuring full coverage.
  6. Place each coated bar on a parchment-lined tray and drizzle with remaining melted chocolate and sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired. Freeze for about 10 minutes until chocolate is set.
  7. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze individual bars for longer preservation.
