Vegan Salted Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars

Errrmaaahhhhgaawd this is indulgent and damn delicious.

Lucky for me (and you) it's high-protein, full of healthy fats and vegan to top it off. I'm not vegan but I can get down with the cuisine.

Bonus: No baking involved! (Does anyone else feel like once the oven is introduced the recipe becomes a gamble?)

Peanut butter and chocolate have to be the best dessert combo hands down. If it's sweet and salty I'm usually ALL IN. When I was a kid my Dad and I would scarf peanut butter cups and chocolate peanut butter swirl ice cream. Side note: Dad, make these. (Don't worry, no one will think you're a liberal).

So how did this recipe come about? I recently bought an app called Hippy Lane- vegan treats 'with edge.' I found them on Instagram- their account is absolutely stunning. The recipes are drool-worthy, easy to make but the ingredients are pretty dang expensive (and that's saying a lot coming from me because I usually have no problem splurging on healthy ingredients or anything else for that matter) and not super easy to source in basic Aussie supermarkets. I was tinkering around with some of her recipes with what I had in my pantry. Good news- you probably already have these ingredients in your home (I had everything except cashew butter).

Caution: Exercise self-control because these are RICH. MMMMmmmm.
