Description

The perfect amount of dessert for two: learn how to make pb bars for two with today’s small batch dessert recipe! Thick layers of peanut butter and chocolate to delight in.


Ingredients

Scale

Peanut Butter Layer

  • 2 tablespoons natural, unsalted creamy peanut butter
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon coconut flour

Chocolate Topping

  • 2 tablespoons chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon natural, unsalted creamy peanut butter

Instructions

  1. Line a mini loaf pan with parchment paper or wax paper.
  2. Make the Peanut Butter Layer: In a small bowl, add Peanut Butter Layer ingredients. Using a rubber spatula, stir and fold until well-mixed and thickened, with no visible flour patches remaining.
  3. Transfer peanut butter mixture into the prepared pan. Using the rubber spatula, smooth into an even layer. Set aside.
  4. Make the Chocolate Topping: Use the double boiler method or do the following. Add Chocolate Topping ingredients to a small, microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 10-second increments until chocolate is softened and melty. Stir in between heating increments, until smooth.
  5. Pour the chocolate mixture over the peanut butter filling. Using a clean rubber spatula, smooth into an even layer. Tap the pan a few times to help even out the chocolate.
  6. Transfer pan to freezer. Freeze for 20-30 minutes, or until firm. Remove from freezer and slice into 2 squares. Enjoy! Storing instructions below.

Notes

Storing Instructions: On the first day, these bars are best stored in the refrigerator, as the chocolate topping hasn’t fully set yet. Serve and enjoy within 1 hour.

After the first day, you may store these bars in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks. Starting week 2, the bars are a bit drier (like Reese’s PB cup filling), but still delicious.

Freezing Instructions: These pb bars freeze well. Store in an airtight container in the freezer for 1-2 months. Thaw at room temperature for 10 minutes before enjoying.
