Ingredients
  

Peanut Butter Layer1

  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
  • 2 Tbsp maple syrup

Bottom Chocolate Layer

  • 3/4 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 Tbsp coconut oil or coconut butter

Top Chocolate Layer

  • 3/4 cup milk chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Mix the PB layer
    In a small bowl, stir peanut butter and maple syrup until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
  • Melt the dark chocolate
    Melt dark chocolate chips with coconut butter in the microwave in 20–30 second intervals, stirring until smooth.

  • Add the PB layer
    Spoon a small dollop (about 1–2 teaspoons) of the maple PB mixture onto each chocolate base. Gently flatten.
  • Top with milk chocolate

  • Finish & set
    Sprinkle lightly with flaky sea salt.
    Refrigerate or freeze until firm (about 20–30 minutes).
