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:
- Line a 8″ x 8″ pan with parchment paper and then lightly grease.
- Whisk together the almond flour, salt, and cocoa powder.
- In a pan on medium-low heat, warm the chocolate chips and coconut oil until melted; whisk in the honey granules.
- Add eggs and vanilla and whisk to combine (the mixture should be close to room temperature).
- Fold in the flour mixture until just a bit of the flour is still visible.
- 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.)
- Sprinkle with peanuts.
- 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.
- Spread the topping evenly over the bars.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting and serving. Store in refrigerator. Enjoy! 🙂
