Choc. PB Carmel Squares

This is the recipe everyone wanted - the treats Erin and Tiff made Ryan for his birthday.  They are SO good.  I would even just make the pb part and spread it out and freeze it sometime.  That's the kids favorite part.  Next time I will half the chocolate recipe to have a thin layer of that, it's very strong.

Chocolate Peanut butter Carmel  squares

Chocolate
4 tbsp coconut oil
1/2 cup Cacao powder
4-6 tsp water
4 tbsp coconut nectar (or agave)

Mix together in a bowl and spread across parchment paper lined 8x8 pan. Pop in freezer while you mix the pb caramel.

Peanut Butter Caramel filling
½ cup coconut oil (I only used 1/4 cup and it was plenty)
1/3 cup organic peanut butter
½ cup organic REAL maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla
up to ¼ teaspoon salt (start with a pinch)

blend in food processor until mixed. This filling is SO good I could eat it with a spoon alone! Remove pan from freezer and spread pb mixture across the chocolate. I added crushed raw almonds on the top.

Let harden in freezer and then cut up.
