• 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted and cooled
• 1/3 cup maple syrup (ensure it’s at room temperature)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil (for melting the chocolate)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Pan:
   • Line a 9×5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper for easy removal and clean-up.
2. Make the Cookie Layer:
   • In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, melted and cooled coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
   • Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
3. Prepare the Brownie Layer:
   • In a separate bowl, mix together the peanut butter, melted and cooled coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.
   • In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips with 2 tablespoons of coconut oil. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is smooth and glossy. Alternatively, use a double boiler.
   • Fold the melted chocolate mixture into the peanut butter mixture until fully incorporated.
4. Assemble the Fudge:
   • Transfer the brownie layer into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
   • Top with the cookie dough layer, smoothing it out to cover the brownie layer evenly.
   • Sprinkle extra chocolate chips and flaky salt on top for added texture and flavor.
5. Set and Serve:
   • Place the pan in the freezer and let it set for 1-2 hours or until firm.
   • Remove from the freezer, let it thaw for a few minutes, and cut into squares or bars.
   • Enjoy immediately, or store in the freezer for a convenient, ready-to-eat dessert!
