Instructions:

Prepare the Base:
- In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, powdered erythritol, melted butter, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until well combined.
Add Crispy Layer:

Coat Bars:
- Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the peanut butter layer, spreading it evenly to cover the entire surface.
Chill for Final Setting:
- Return the pan to the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 2-3 hours or until the layers are fully set.
