Chocolate and peanut butter are meant for each another. Here, they’re presented in perfect harmony with some toasted nuts on top for crunchiness!

Ingredients

  • 100 g dark chocolate with a minimum of 70% cocoa solids
  • 4 tbsp butter or coconut oil
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 60 ml peanut butter
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp (3 g) liquorice powder or ground cinnamon or ground cardamom (green)
  • 60 ml salted peanuts, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Melt chocolate and butter or coconut oil in the microwave oven or in a double boiler. If you don’t have a double boiler you can put a glass bowl on top of a pot of steaming water. Make sure that the water doesn’t reach the bowl. The chocolate will melt from the heat of the steam. Set it aside to cool for a few minutes.
  2. Add all remaining ingredients except the nuts and blend until incorporated.
  3. Pour the batter into a small greased baking dish lined with parchment paper, no bigger than 4×6 inches.
  4. Top with finely chopped peanuts. Place in the refrigerator to chill.
  5. When set, cut into small squares with a sharp knife. Store in the refrigerator or freezer.
