Ingredients

  • For the shortbread base:
  • 1 ½ cups packed fine blanched almond flour
  • 3 tablespoons melted coconut oil
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • For the salted tahini caramel:
  • ½ cup tahini
  • ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
  • ⅓ cup coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • For the chocolate layer:
  • ¾ cup dairy-free chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • Sea salt for sprinkling on top

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch square pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a bowl, mix almond flour, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until a crumbly dough forms. Press into the pan evenly.
  3. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and cool for 10 minutes.
  4. For the caramel, heat tahini, maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla, and sea salt in a saucepan over medium-low heat for about 2 minutes, stirring until smooth.
  5. Pour caramel over cooled crust. Refrigerate for 30–60 minutes until firm.
  6. Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a heatproof bowl in the microwave or on the stovetop until smooth.
  7. Pour chocolate over chilled caramel layer, spreading evenly. Chill for 1 hour until set.
  8. Once firm, lift bars out using parchment, sprinkle with sea salt, slice into squares, and serve.

Notes

  • Use runny, well-stirred tahini for the best caramel texture.
  • Let the caramel chill fully before adding chocolate to avoid mixing layers.
  • You can substitute almond butter for tahini if preferred.
  • Bars can be frozen and enjoyed directly from the freezer with a few minutes thawing time.
  • Slice into smaller squares for party-sized bites.
