Instructions
1
In a medium mixing bowl, add peanut butter, maple syrup, protein powder, and salt. Mix with a spoon, and use your hands if needed, until it forms a thick dough-like consistency.
2
Press into a parchment lined pan. (I like using a loaf pan.)
3
In a small bowl, melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring between each. Pour melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer and spread evenly. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired.
4
Place in the fridge for 1 hour, then slice into bars or squares. Store covered in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Coconut Oil Temperature Control 🌡️Melt coconut oil gently over low heat or use a double boiler to prevent it from separating; this ensures a smooth, cohesive texture that binds all ingredients evenly.
- Peanut Butter Layer Precision 🥜Press the peanut butter mixture firmly into the base layer before adding chocolate to prevent layers from separating when slicing; use parchment paper and a flat-bottomed glass for uniform compression.
- Chocolate Tempering for Shine ✨Temper your dark chocolate chips by melting two-thirds and cooling slightly before adding the remaining chips; this creates a glossy finish and prevents a dull, grainy coating on your bars.
- Strategic Salt Placement 🧂Sprinkle flaky sea salt on the chocolate layer immediately after pouring while it's still warm, allowing it to adhere perfectly and balance the richness of the chocolate-peanut butter combination.
- Optimal Chilling and Cutting 🔪Refrigerate bars for at least 4 hours (or freeze for 2 hours), then dip your knife in hot water and wipe between cuts to achieve clean, professional-looking bars without cracking the chocolate layer.
