The silky peanut butter “caramel” and dark chocolate drizzle take it over the top.

How To Make It:

Blend the base: In a food processor or blender, combine drained beans, protein powder, sugar, salt, and peanut butter. Blend until smooth and dough-like.
Mix in chocolate: Stir in chocolate chips or chopped chocolate until evenly distributed.
Press into tray: Line a container or small tray with baking paper. Press the cookie dough mixture into the base. Freeze for 15–20 minutes to firm.
Make the caramel layer: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt peanut butter and coconut oil. Stir until smooth and pour over the firm base. Return to the freezer for 1 hour.
Drizzle: Melt dark chocolate using microwave or stovetop. Let cool slightly.
Slice with ease: Remove tray from freezer and slice into squares. Use a warm knife to get clean edges.
Final touch: Drizzle melted chocolate over the top. Store slices in an airtight container in the freezer and enjoy chilled!

If not using protein, add 1–2 tbsp extra oats or nut flour for structure and a bit more cinnamon for flavour.
Dark chocolate adds contrast, but feel free to use semi-sweet, dairy-free, or even white chocolate chunks if preferred.
Store up to 2 months in an airtight container. Just let sit for 5 minutes before eating if frozen solid.
