This is a healthy alterative to chocolate peanut butter cups which are loaded with sugar. These are made with no sugar (of course) and taste amazing. I use an 8 x 8 pan lined with parchment so that I can lift out to score and cut. They can also be done in a 9 x 9 pan. This would make them a bit thinner.

Ingredients

Base

• 3 cups of rolled oats ground into flour (this can be done in food processor) or just use oat bran
• 1 1/2 cups natural peanut butter
• 1/3 cup coconut oil
• 1/2 cup date puree
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1 tsp. salt

If using rolled oats, process into a coarse flour. Melt coconut oil and mix with peanut butter, date puree, vanilla and salt. Using a food processor for this makes it easy but it is not necessary. Add oats and mix well to combine. The more you mix the smoother the base will be.

Chocolate Topping

• 4 oz. chocolate chips (sweetened with Stevia)
• 2 oz. 95% Lindt chocolate
• 2 Tbsp. coconut oil

Using a microwave safe glass container, melt all 3 ingredients together. Start with 30 seconds and stir. Then only 10 second intervals, stirring after each. Once completely melted pour over base tipping pan to spread. Refrigerate approx. 30 min. and remove to score chocolate before it gets too hard. Return to refrigerator.
