Chocolate Crunch Bars (Gluten-Free)

These are a big hit!

Ingredients:

  • ⅔ cup (2¾ oz.) almond flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 6 oz. chocolate chips
  • ½ cup (4 oz.) coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup honey granules (or sugar)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup peanuts
  • 5 oz. chocolate chips
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 1/4 cups puffed rice cereal

Instructions:

  1. Line a 8″ x 8″ pan with parchment paper and then lightly grease.
  2. Whisk together the almond flour, salt, and cocoa powder.
  3. In a pan on medium-low heat, warm the chocolate chips and coconut oil until melted; whisk in the honey granules.
  4. Add eggs and vanilla and whisk to combine (the mixture should be close to room temperature).
  5. Fold in the flour mixture until just a bit of the flour is still visible.
  6. Pour batter into prepared pan, and bake at 350 for 23 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs still attached. (The bars will firm up as they cool.)
  7. Sprinkle with peanuts.
  8. After taking the brownies out of the oven, melt the chocolate chips and peanut butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; stir in the puffed rice cereal until coated.
  9. Spread the topping evenly over the bars.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting and serving. Store in refrigerator. Enjoy! 🙂
