instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line an 8×8 inch square pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl add the almond flour, coconut oil, maple syrup and salt. Using a dinner fork, mix ingredients together. The mixture will start to turn into a dough
- Once a dough has formed, spread evenly, into your lined 8×8 pan. Bake for until a nice brown outside starts to become visible (about 10 minutes). After baking, allow the shortbread to cool completely before adding the “caramel”.
- Now, in a medium sauce pan, add the peanut butter, vanilla extract, maple syrup and coconut oil. Using medium heat for approximately 2 minutes, stirring the caramel it will thicken up and bubble. Remove from heat and cover the caramel over the shortbread, spreading it evenly.
- Grab your handfuls of Teddie peanuts of your choosing, we used lightly salted, and sprinkle over the caramel. Place in fridge until the caramel is cool.
- Melt your chocolate in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until a smooth texture forms. Take the shortbread from the fridge and pour the chocolate over the caramel and peanuts evenly.
- Put the pan back into the fridge so the chocolate hardens. Then, cut into bars and enjoy.
