Nutty Millionaire's Shortbread

Nutty Millionaire's Shortbread
This easy weekend treat is the brilliant creation of our lovely contributing chef  Heather Adamson   (@Fresheather )! With three delicious layers and a quick assembling time, these shortbread bars are definitely worth a try! They are nutty, melt-in-your-mouth delicious, and the perfect sweet pick-me-up!
What you’ll need:

For the base:
-  3/4 cup ground pecan nuts
-  2 tablespoons cacao
-  4 tablespoons Coconut Syrup 
-  1 tablespoon melted Coconut Oil

For the middle layer:
-  1/2 cup crunchy organic peanut butter
-  3 tablespoons Coconut Syrup
-  1 tablespoon melted Coconut Oil

For the topping:
-  1/4 cup cacao powder
-  1/4 cup melted Coconut Oil
-  3 tablespoons Coconut Syrup

 
Let’s get started!

1. Combine all base layer ingredients by hand, until they clump well together. Press this into a small square lined baking tray – bear in mind, the smaller the tray, the thicker the layers!
2. Moving on to the middle layer! Mix the peanut butter, syrup, and oil until well combined. Spread this mixture on top of the base layer, and pop the tray into the fridge or freezer while you make the final layer!
3. Mix the cacao, melted coconut oil, and coconut syrup together until you’ve reached a smooth, melted-chocolate consistency. (Try not to eat it all first!)
4. Pull your tray back out of the fridge, and pour this on top of the middle layer. Spread it across evenly with a spatula. (You can also bang the base of the tray on your working surface a few times to even the top out!)
5. Set in the fridge for 30 minutes, then cut into squares! It’s especially delicious when the chocolate has just set, and the rest is still gooey!
6. Save whatever you haven’t devoured (if there is any left!) and store in the fridge.
