In my opinion, there\u2019s nothing better. Since it was my birthday recently, I decided to treat myself and my coworkers to my favorite combination. These squares were inspired by the Mini Peanut Butter Chocolate Cups I made last year, but these squares are a little gooier, a touch sweeter and the perfect dessert for a birthday. I\u2019ve also made these with almond butter and they are just as satisfying, so take your pick. I bet cashew butter would even be perfect in this recipe. Just remember, no matter what nut butter you decide to use, make sure you look for the jars that contain an ingredient list that only has the nut, and maybe a touch of sea salt. You don\u2019t need any nut butters with added sugar, hydrogenated oils, and heaps of salt \u2014 the simple ones are so much better to taste and much better for you.<\/p>\n<h2>INGREDIENTS<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Chocolate Base:<\/strong><br \/>\n<div class=\"clear-fix\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"bdaia-lists s-circles t-check\"><ul><li><span class=\"bdaia-sio bdaia-sio-check-square-o2\" style=\"background:#a0ce4e !important;color:#ffffff !important;\"><\/span><span class=\"txt\">3\/4 cup (75 g) almond meal<\/span><\/li><li><span class=\"bdaia-sio bdaia-sio-check-square-o2\" style=\"background:#a0ce4e !important;color:#ffffff !important;\"><\/span><span class=\"txt\"><br \/>\n2 tbsp pure maple syrup<\/span><\/li><li><span class=\"bdaia-sio bdaia-sio-check-square-o2\" style=\"background:#a0ce4e !important;color:#ffffff !important;\"><\/span><span class=\"txt\"><br \/>\n2 tbsp cacao powder<\/span><\/li><li><span class=\"bdaia-sio bdaia-sio-check-square-o2\" style=\"background:#a0ce4e !important;color:#ffffff !important;\"><\/span><span class=\"txt\"><br \/>\n1 tbsp coconut oil<\/span><\/li><li><span class=\"bdaia-sio bdaia-sio-check-square-o2\" style=\"background:#a0ce4e !important;color:#ffffff !important;\"><\/span><span class=\"txt\"><br \/>\n1\/8 tsp vanilla extract<\/span><\/li><li><span class=\"bdaia-sio bdaia-sio-check-square-o2\" style=\"background:#a0ce4e !important;color:#ffffff !important;\"><\/span><span class=\"txt\"><br \/>\nsea salt .. to taste<br \/><\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n<strong>Peanut Butter Layer:<\/strong><br \/>\n<div class=\"clear-fix\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"bdaia-lists s-circles t-check\"><ul><li><span class=\"bdaia-sio bdaia-sio-check-square-o2\" style=\"background:#a0ce4e !important;color:#ffffff !important;\"><\/span><span class=\"txt\">1\/2 cup (130 g) peanut butter<\/span><\/li><li><span class=\"bdaia-sio bdaia-sio-check-square-o2\" style=\"background:#a0ce4e !important;color:#ffffff !important;\"><\/span><span class=\"txt\"><br \/>\n3 tbsp pure maple syrup<\/span><\/li><li><span class=\"bdaia-sio bdaia-sio-check-square-o2\" style=\"background:#a0ce4e !important;color:#ffffff !important;\"><\/span><span class=\"txt\"><br \/>\n1 tbsp coconut oil<\/span><\/li><li><span class=\"bdaia-sio bdaia-sio-check-square-o2\" style=\"background:#a0ce4e !important;color:#ffffff !important;\"><\/span><span class=\"txt\"><br \/>\nsea salt .. to taste<br \/><\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n<strong>Chocolate Topping:<\/strong><br \/>\n<div class=\"clear-fix\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"bdaia-lists s-circles t-check\"><ul><li><span class=\"bdaia-sio bdaia-sio-check-square-o2\" style=\"background:#a0ce4e !important;color:#ffffff !important;\"><\/span><span class=\"txt\">1\/4 cup (30 g) cacao powder<\/span><\/li><li><span class=\"bdaia-sio bdaia-sio-check-square-o2\" style=\"background:#a0ce4e !important;color:#ffffff !important;\"><\/span><span class=\"txt\"><br \/>\n1\/4 cup (60 ml) coconut oil<\/span><\/li><li><span class=\"bdaia-sio bdaia-sio-check-square-o2\" style=\"background:#a0ce4e !important;color:#ffffff !important;\"><\/span><span class=\"txt\"><br \/>\n2 tbsp pure maple syrup<\/span><\/li><li><span class=\"bdaia-sio bdaia-sio-check-square-o2\" style=\"background:#a0ce4e !important;color:#ffffff !important;\"><\/span><span class=\"txt\"><br \/>\nsea salt .. to taste<br \/><\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n<h2>DIRECTIONS<\/h2>\n<div class=\"bdaia-lists s-circles t-check\"><ul><li><span class=\"bdaia-sio bdaia-sio-check-square-o2\" style=\"background:#a0ce4e !important;color:#ffffff !important;\"><\/span><span class=\"txt\">Line a square baking pan with parchment or wax paper.<\/span><\/li><li><span class=\"bdaia-sio bdaia-sio-check-square-o2\" style=\"background:#a0ce4e !important;color:#ffffff !important;\"><\/span><span class=\"txt\"><br \/>\nCombine all ingredients for the base in a medium bowl.
