PB + CACAO SLICE

I'm obsessed with this PB Slice from Health Freak + it inspired me to make this!!! YUM!!!

It makes me angry how much i love peanut butter and I can't express it. Why do I love it so much?????? Omg there's a burning passion in my stomach when i talk about it HAHA.
​---------------------------------------------------------------------------

INGREDIENTS:
BASE:
1 cup desiccated coconut
1/3 cup peanut butter 
1/4 cup pecans
1/4 cup raw cacao powder
1 Tbsp flax seed meal
2 Tbsp honey
PB CENTRE:
3/4 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup honey
1/4 + Tbsp cup coconut oil (liquid form)
TOP:
block of lindt 70% dark cacao
2 Tbsp smooth peanut butter
1 Tbsp honey
crushed peanuts to top!

METHOD:

1. Combine all BASE ingredients with a hand mixer or in a food processor. Until it's completely combined and there's no big chunks in it.
2. Press firmly into the base of a lined 20cmx20cm (8 square inch) pan. Place in freezer for 20 mins to harden up whilst you prepare the filling.
3. In a small saucepan over low heat combine all PB FILLING ingredients and mix until it's all dissolved and one fine mixture. Pour over the base and place in freezer for 30 mins.
4. In a small saucepan over low heat combine all chocolate ingredients, except crushed peanuts, and mix until melted. Leave aside for 5 mins to cool.
5. If the peanut butter layer is set- pour over the chocolate layer + sprinkle with crushed peanuts. 
6. Place in freezer for 30 minutes to set + slice + enjoy!

P.S. I use so much peanut butter in the centre because I like it to be a thick filling because peanut butter <3. You can use left but adjust ingredients accordingly !!!

I have NO idea why I haven't attempted a peanut butter slice earlier. I think it was because I didn't understand how you could get the centre to set- but coconut oil does the trick! I tweaked wholefoodsimply's recipe and wow. If you love peanut butter (like me xx) then try this! Be sure to tag me on gram @scarlactive if you do hehe. I LOVE seeing all your posts <3
