What you need :

• 1 1/3 cup Cassava flour
• 1 cup Peanut butter
• ½ cup Pumpkin Puree
• 1/3 cup maple syrup
• 1 tbsp coconut flour
• 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• 1 tsp pumpkin pie syrup (If you can’t get enough of the delicious pumpkin flavor)

Chocolate Topping:

• 1 tbsp organic coconut oil
• 1 tsp pumpkin spice syrup (if you like more pumpkin flavor)
• ½ Cup Chocolate chips

Let’s get started:

• Prepare a base by combining all the wet ingredients; Pumpkin puree, maple syrup, peanut butter, and pumpkin pie syrup. Whisk until all the ingredients are fully combined.
• Once all the wet ingredients are fully combined, add the dry ingredients one by one; Cassava flour, coconut flour, and pumpkin spice.
• Use a spatula to combine the wet and the dry ingredients with a light hand. Keep stirring until balls are formed of the dough. The dough should not be too sticky, wet, or dry. If it’s too dry, add 1 tbsp of coconut flour, and in case of wetness, add a tbsp of dairy-free milk
• Once you have the right consistency of the dough, line a pan with parchment paper.
• Press the dough onto the pan making sure it’s even around the edges and place it in the freezer

Let’s Make Some Beautiful Chocolate:

• Prepare a double boiler; fill a saucepan with water and put it over the stove. Take a glass bowl and put it over the boiling water. VOILA!! Your double boiler is ready
• Melt all the ingredients over the double boiler by adding them to the bowl; chocolate chips, pumpkin spice syrup, and coconut oil
• Make sure, all t ingredients are fully combined and melted. If the chocolate is too thick, add some more coconut oil.
• Pro tip: Don’t leave the chocolate melting over the double boiler for too long, it might burn the chocolate and give it a bitter taste
• Take the bars out of the freezer and layer the chocolate on top of them
• Place the pan back in the freezer for at least 4 hours or overnight. Let the chocolate settle over the bars
• Before cutting the bars in slices, make sure to thaw them for easy and smooth cutting

Enjoy this recipe with your friends and family and if you are in a mood, top it up with some Hot chocolate in this holiday season.
