Chocolate, Almond & Peanut Butter Squares

Peanut butter cups was one of my favourite chocolates ever.

My method of attack was biting the chocolate all around the edges so that I’d be left with just a peanut butter middle squished between two chocolate slabs. It was perfect, with not too much chocolate that it overpowered the peanut butter and vice versa. That is what I aimed for with these almond and peanut butter slices. Just enough almond butter, peanut butter and chocolate so that it can all shine through and produce that unforgettable bite!

Oh, and if you’re a nut butter meets chocolate fan as much as I am, then oh please make sure to check out my caramel & peanut butter cups – they are seriously delicious and dangerously addictive, much like these almond and peanut butter squares.

We’re adding beans to this but I promise you can’t taste them. I wouldn’t feed you a bean-y tasting dessert with no heads up. That would be a violation of our trust and a certain end to our friendship.

We’ve got such strong flavours from the almond and peanut butters with the delicious sweetness of the maple syrup that the white beans are completely masked. They’re just there to add bulk and fibre, and they do their job like a champ.
