Line an 8 x 8-inch square pan with parchment paper and set aside.
Start by preparing the cookie dough base. In a microwave-safe bowl or on the stovetop, add the maple syrup and coconut oil and melt until warm.
Add the almond flour and salt and mix until a thick dough remains. Fold through your chocolate chips and transfer to the lined pan, and press into place.
Pour the caramel over the cookie dough base and refrigerate for around 30 minutes to firm up.
Once the caramel has firmed up slightly, melt your remaining chocolate chips with coconut oil together. Pour over the caramel bars and refrigerate until firm. Slice into bars and sprinkle with salt.
Notes
Caramel: You can also use vegan caramel or any store-bought caramel of your choice.
Tips: See my recipe tips above for making the best bars.
Leftovers: Keep at room temperature for one week or in the fridge for one month. You can freeze bars for up to 6 months.
