Ingredients
  

1 cup almond butter

1 cup dark chocolate chips (70% cacao or more)

2 tablespoons coconut oil

2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey for non-vegan)

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of sea salt

Optional toppings: chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or flaky sea salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chocolate Mixture: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate and coconut oil are completely melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.

    Mix the Almond Butter Filling: In a separate bowl, combine the almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Whisk together until the mixture is silky smooth and all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

      Layer in the Pan: Line an 8x8 inch square baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring that some parchment hangs over the edges for easy removal later. Pour half of the melted chocolate mixture into the lined pan and spread it out evenly. Place the pan in the freezer for about 10 minutes, allowing the chocolate to slightly set.

        Add the Almond Butter Layer: Once the first layer of chocolate is set, remove the pan from the freezer. Gently spread the almond butter mixture over the chilled chocolate layer, smoothing it out evenly for a consistent layer.

          Top with Remaining Chocolate: Pour the reserved melted chocolate over the almond butter layer. Use a spatula to spread the chocolate out evenly, covering the almond butter completely.

            Add Toppings: While the chocolate layer is still soft, sprinkle your chosen optional toppings (such as chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or flaky sea salt) over the top. This step adds texture and flavor to each bite.

              Freeze Until Firm: Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap or foil. Freeze for at least 2 hours or until the squares are completely firm and set.

                Cut and Serve: After the squares are fully frozen, carefully lift the slab out of the pan by pulling on the overhanging parchment paper. Use a sharp knife to cut the slab into small squares. Enjoy right away or store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
