Instructions
- Preheat oven to 160°C. Grease and line a slice tin, roughly 20cm x 30cm, with baking paper.
- Place base mix in a large bowl and combine with melted coconut oil. Transfer to prepared tin and press into the base using a spoon or the bottom of a glass measuring cup. Bake for 15 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Place all the filling ingredients in a blender or food processor and blitz together with a pinch of salt, until smooth and creamy. Pour over cooled base and spread out into an even layer, tapping on the bench a few times to create a level surface. Place into the freezer to chill for about 1½ – 2 hours, until completely firm and set.
- Roughly chop chocolate and add to a medium heat-proof bowl. Melt chocolate in the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring after each 30 seconds, until completely melted. Alternatively, melt chocolate in a medium heat-proof bowl set over a small pot of simmering water.
- Pour melted chocolate over the filling and tilt the tin so that the chocolate spreads into an even layer. Sprinkle over peanuts and flaky salt (if using). Chill again for 15 minutes, until chocolate is set.
- Once set, use a large, serrated knife to cut the slice into rectangles about 2cm x 5cm. Store in the fridge or freezer.
