Servings: 8
Ingredients
Caramel
- 1 cup nut butter
- 1 cup maple syrup
Nougat
- 1 cup homemade caramel
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups peanuts
Chocolate
- 10 oz dairy free dark chocolate
- 1 tsp coconut oil
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine nut butter and maple syrup. Bring to a low boil, stirring constantly. Boil for 2-3 minutes, remove from heat and let cool 5 minutes.
- Measure out 1 cup of the caramel and add to a mixing bowl. Whisk caramel for 2-3 minutes until it gets thicker and lighter in color. Add almond flour and vanilla and mix with rubber spatula until a dough forms.
- Add nougat to a parchment lined loaf pan and press into an even layer. Mix 1 cup of the peanuts with remaining caramel and pour over nougat layer. Spread caramel into an even layer with rubber spatula. Top caramel with remaining 1/2 cup peanuts, pressing peanuts gently into caramel. Freeze candy for at least 3 hours, or overnight.
- Combine dark chocolate and coconut oil in a wide microwave safe bowl and microwave in 30 second intervals until chocolate has melted.
- Take candy out of the freezer and cut into bars. Use two forks to dunk candy bars into chocolate, coat all sides, allow excess chocolate to drip off and then place on a parchment lined baking sheet or large plate (don’t put them on a cooling rack, the candy bars will stick). Place bars in freezer to harden chocolate.
