Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars


I love chocolate and I love peanut butter and this recipe fits that craving perfectly!

Ingredients:
1.5 cups confectioners sugar, sifted
1.5 cups gluten/dairy free graham cracker crumbs (I used Kinnikinnick brand)
1 cup creamy peanut butter (I used some crunchy as I ran out of creamy)
8 tablespoons Earth Balance vegan "butter"
1 cup coconut cream
8 ounces dairy free chocolate chips (I use enjoy life)
1 tsp flaky sea salt (I wouldn't add this next time)

Directions:

Coat the bottom and sides of an 8x8 baking dish with nonstick spray, I use coconut oil.  In a large bowl, stir to combine the sugar, graham cracker crumbs and peanut butter and melted butter.  Press mixture into the baking dish and set aside.

Place chocolate and cream in a small saucepan.  Stir over medium heat until the chocolate has melted and is smooth.  Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter mixture and refrigerate until the chocolate is cooled and set, at least 45 minutes.  Sprinkle evenly with flaky sea salt.  Cut into squares and serve.

So happy with how this turned out!  Such a yummy and rich treat that I didn't have to turn the oven on for.  It kept well for over a week in the fridge.  Will definitely be making this one again soon!
