- Press out into a parchment-lined 8×8 baking dish and smooth down. Place into the freezer to set.
- Melt the coconut butter and then pour into your high speed blender with Medjool dates, peanut butter, coconut oil, vanilla extract and sea salt. Blend until all ingredients are smooth.
- Pour this out on top of the base and smooth down. Then add the peanuts and gently press down with a spoon pressing them into the caramel. Place into the freezer to set.

- Heat coconut oil, cacao butter in a saucepan over low heat until completely melted. Add in cacao powder and maple syrup and whisk together until fully mixed.
- Pour chocolate evenly on top of the caramel. Place back in the freezer for at least 2 hours. Remove from the freezer and let thaw for 30 minutes before cutting into slices. Cut upside down to avoid smashing the filling.
