Ingredients
  

1 cup creamy, unsweetened almond butter

1/4 cup pure maple syrup or honey (your choice)

1/4 cup coconut oil, melted until liquid

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (choose dairy-free if preferred)

Optional Toppings: A handful of chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or a sprinkle of sea salt for extra flair

Instructions
 

Prepare Your Pan: Start by lining an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper. Leave some overhang on the sides, as this will help you lift the chocolate squares out easily once they’ve set.

    Mix the Base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond butter, maple syrup or honey, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Use a whisk or spatula to mix all the ingredients thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and homogenized.

      Transfer to Dish: Pour the almond butter mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it evenly across the bottom, ensuring you press it firmly into the corners for an even layer.

        Melt the Chocolate: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the dark chocolate chips while stirring continuously until it becomes smooth and glossy. Alternatively, to save time, you can melt the chocolate in the microwave using 30-second intervals, stirring well between each interval to prevent burning.

          Spread the Chocolate: After the chocolate is fully melted, pour it over the almond butter base. Take a spatula and gently spread the chocolate evenly over the almond butter layer.

            Add Toppings: If you’d like to enhance the flavor and texture, sprinkle your choice of optional toppings such as chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or a light dash of sea salt over the chocolate layer while it is still warm.

              Freeze: Carefully place the baking dish into the freezer. Allow it to chill for about 1-2 hours, or until the chocolate is completely hardened and set.

                Slice and Serve: Once your almond butter chocolate layer has frozen solid, use the parchment paper overhang to lift it out of the dish. Transfer it to a cutting board and slice it into squares or rectangles of your desired size.

                  Enjoy and Store: Indulge in these delicious squares immediately, or store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months for a delightful treat at any time.
