Instructions:

1. Make the Bars:

   • In a mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, almond flour, coconut flour, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until a thick dough forms.
   • Press the dough into a wax paper-lined 8x8 dish, spreading it into an even layer.

2. Make the Ganache:

   • In a saucepan over low heat, melt the chocolate chips and coconut cream together, stirring often.
   • Add a pinch of kosher salt and a few tablespoons of coconut water (or regular water) to thin the ganache. Add one tablespoon at a time until you achieve a creamy, pudding-like texture.

3. Assemble:

   • Spread the ganache evenly over the peanut butter dough.
   • Drizzle additional peanut butter on top and use a toothpick or knife to swirl it into a design.

4. Chill and Serve:

   • Refrigerate for at least an hour to cool the ganache and set the bars.
   • Slice into bars and sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired.

5. Enjoy:

   • Serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy these creamy, peanut butter-filled treats!
