Instructions
- Line a square 9x9 baking dish with parchment paper.
- Add the butter and peanut butter to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on medium speed until well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- With the mixer on low speed, add the vanilla extract and then slowly add the powdered sugar.
- Once all of the powdered sugar has been added, allow the mixer to run on low speed until it all comes together in a ball.
- Transfer the peanut butter to the parchment lined pan and pack it down, making sure to press it all the way to the edges.
- Add the chocolate chips and coconut oil to a small, microwave safe bowl and microwave until melted.
- Pour the chocolate mixture over the peanut butter layer and use a spoon or offset spatula to push the chocolate into an even layer.
- Transfer the bars to the refrigerator and allow them to sit until the chocolate has fullly hardened - about 2 hours.
- Slice the bars and top with flakey sea salt, if desired.
