Ingredients
  

1 cup almond flour

1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/4 cup maple syrup (or honey for sweetness)

1/4 cup coconut oil, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1 cup dark chocolate chips (opt for dairy-free if preferred)

1 tablespoon coconut oil (for melting with the chocolate)

1/4 cup slivered almonds (for a crunchy topping)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base:

    - In a medium mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the almond flour, shredded coconut, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to mix until the ingredients come together to form a moist, dough-like batter that holds together when pressed.

      Form the Squares:

        - Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring there is an overhang on the sides for easy removal later. Spoon the mixture into the baking dish, and using the back of a spoon or your hands, press it down evenly across the bottom to create a compact, smooth layer.

          Freeze the Base:

            - Transfer the dish to the freezer and let it set for approximately 30 minutes. This will help firm up the base while you prepare the chocolate topping.

              Melt the Chocolate:

                - In a microwave-safe bowl, or using a double boiler, combine the dark chocolate chips and the tablespoon of coconut oil. Heat the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each interval, until the chocolate is melted and glossy, ensuring smooth consistency.

                  Assemble the Squares:

                    - After the base has firmed up, carefully remove the dish from the freezer. Pour the melted chocolate over the almond-coconut mixture, using a spatula to spread it evenly across the surface. Before the chocolate begins to set, sprinkle the slivered almonds on top, lightly pressing them into the chocolate for better adhesion.

                      Final Freeze:

                        - Place the dish back into the freezer for another 1-2 hours, or until the chocolate topping has completely hardened and the squares are set.

                          Cut and Serve:

                            - Once fully frozen, lift the squares out of the baking dish using the parchment paper overhang. Transfer to a cutting board and slice into small squares or rectangles. Enjoy these delightful treats immediately or store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks.
