Ingredients

  • ½ cup dairy free butter melted and cooled
  • 1 ½ cups digestive biscuit crumbs see notes
  • 1 ½ cups icing sugar
  • 1 cup peanut butter

Chocolate layer:

  • 1 cup chopped vegan dark chocolate
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter

Instructions

  • Start by ensuring you have enough biscuit crumbs for the recipe by pulsing digestive biscuits in a food processor.
  • Measure out the biscuit crumbs and add them to a bowl with sifted icing sugar, melted dairy free butter and the peanut butter and mix together. You can soften the peanut butter in the microwave for 20 seconds first to make it easier to mix through.
  • Line a 20 cm square baking pan with baking paper, leaving a slight overhang at the edge to allow for an easy release of the bars once set.
  • Press the peanut butter mixture into the base of the pan evenly. Set aside.
  • In a microwave safe bowl, add the chocolate and the extra peanut butter and place in the microwave for 20 second bursts, mixing well between each with a metal spoon until the chocolate is melted.
  • Pour the chocolate mixture over the peanut butter layer and place in the fridge to set for at least 2 hours.
  • Slice into squares and store any remaining bars in the fridge or freezer.
