Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1 cup Butter Substitution: Use coconut oil for a vegan version.

  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Essential for taste.
  • 1 pinch Salt Do not omit; a pinch is sufficient.
  • 1/2 cup Milk Dairy-free milk can be substituted for vegan options.
For Mixing In
  • 1 cup Mini Chocolate Chips Alternative: Use dark or dairy-free chocolate chips.

  • 1 cup Melted Chocolate Melt carefully using a microwave or double boiler.

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • hand mixer or whisk
  • spatula
  • 8x8-inch baking dish
  • microwave-safe bowl

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Add in the milk, vanilla extract, and salt, mixing until fully incorporated, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Gradually add almond flour to the wet mixture, stirring until the dough is pliable, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips using a spatula, ensuring they're evenly distributed, about 1-2 minutes.
  5. Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, press the dough mixture into the dish, smoothing the top with a spatula, about 3 minutes.
  6. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate for the topping in 30-second intervals until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
  7. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the pressed dough, spreading it for a glossy finish.
  8. Refrigerate the dish for at least one hour for the chocolate to set and the bars to firm up.
  9. Once chilled, lift the bars out of the baking dish using parchment paper, slice into squares or rectangles.
