By á-153

Ingredients

• Bottom layer
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/2 cup peanut butter
• 2 1/4 cups brown rice cereal
• 1/4 cup flax seed meal
• 1/2 cup oats
• 1 tablespoon dark cocoa powder
• Middle layer
• 3/4 cup coconut butter
• 3/4 cup peanut butter
• Top layer
• 1 1 /2 cup dark chocolate chips

Preparation

Step 1

In a sauce pan, at low heat, combine sugar, honey and peanut butter. Heat for about 1-2 minutes stirring to dissolve sugar. Remove from heat and add cereal, oats, dark cocoa powder and flax seed meal. Press into a square baking pan lined with foil like in the picture.

Blend the coconut chips (or shredded coconut) in a food processor until it resembles butter consistency (you probably need about 2 cups of the chips to make 3/4 cup coconut butter that is what I used). Transfer to a bowl and add the peanut butter. Combine.

Pour mixture over the dark chocolate crispy part and place in the refrigerator until it sets, about 1 hour or so.

Melt chocolate in a medium bowl over a saucepan over boiling water (double boiler method). Stir until smooth and spread melted chocolate over the coconut butter mixture.

Let cool to set chocolate. I normally put it in the fridge for 20-30 minutes. Lift out of the pan, remove foil and cut into small bars or squares. Store in the refrigerator.
