Peanut caramel bars

I experimented with a few recipes I saw on YouTube for healthy "Snickers" and this is the result. They're super easy to make and really delicious if you like peanuts (which I do).

Here's how to make them:

First make the base:

mix 200g blanched ground almonds with 40g coconut oil and 50g honey
press the mix in a small oven proof dish, lined with baking paper, and bake at 200 degrees Celsius for 15 minutes
take it out and let it cool down completely

Next, make the peanut caramel:

put 120g peanut butter (I used homemade crunchy peanut butter, but you can use smooth too, it works fine), 40g coconut oil and 50g liquid honey in a saucepan
gently heat up and bring to the boil very briefly. Be really careful it doesn't burn!
pour over the almond bas
let it cool down completely - the caramel needs to be hard (I put it in the fridge for 2 hours)

Finally, make the chocolate topping:

in a saucepan, gently melt 100g of dark chocolate with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil and 2 tablespoons of water
pour this over the caramel and spread evenly
I sprinkled a little sea salt on top - it gives this a really lovely salty-sweet taste

Let this cool down completely again (I put it in the fridge again) and then slice up.

That's it!

I kept them in a tupperware in the fridge and they keep great for a few days.
