For peanut butter chocolate chip & fudge brownie flavors, combine dough ingredients together until smooth (if your nut butter is NOT drippy like a fresh jar then omit the coconut flour)
Fold in mini dark chocolate chips, reserving some for topping, and sprinkle with flakey sea salt
Press into a loaf tin lined with parchment paper, and refrigerate an hour, then slice and enjoy
For the caramel flavor- combine dough ingredients together
Finely chop a few Medjool dates and fold into the dough
Press into loaf tin lined with parchment paper and refrigerate an hour
Make caramel by whisking ingredients together until thick but still drippy (depends on the consistency of your nut butter, add more as needed)
Slice caramel bars, then drizzle with caramel sauce. Referigate another 10 minutes until caramel is firm
Notes
Each flavor yields ~6 bars. Feel free to slice smaller
