Ingredients 

Crust

• 1 ½ cups blanched almond flour
• ¼ cup melted coconut oil
• 2 ½ tbsp pure maple syrup
• Pinch of salt

Filling

• ½ cup coconut sugar
• ½ cup pure maple syrup
• ¾ cup chopped pecans
• ¾ cup Vine to Bar Dark Chocolate Covered Almonds, chopped
• Flaky salt, to top

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a 8x8” baking dish with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut oil, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt until a sticky dough forms.
3. Pour the dough into the lined baking dish and press evenly to cover the entire dish. Bake for 8 minutes then remove from the oven. Set aside.
4. Pour the coconut sugar and maple syrup into a small pot over medium heat. Once the mixture begins to bubble, reduce the heat to medium-low, whisking for about 3-5 minutes.
5. Pour over the par-baked crust followed by sprinkling the pecans and chocolate covered almonds over the caramel mixture evenly.
6. Bake for another 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle a generous pinch of flaky salt over the top. Let cool completely, then transfer to the fridge for at least two hours before slicing and serving.
