I think many people will like today’s recipe. It is healthy, delicious, and easy to make. These little snacks will drive you crazy. Peanut butter fingers.
When I started making it I did not expect it to be so addictive. I ate the first bite and immediately realized that many bites will follow. The base consists of ground oats and coconut oil. In the middle you will find peanut butter, which also contains a little coconut oil and honey. On the top is covered with dark chocolate mixed with coconut oil, while a little salt was necessary.
WHY TO ADD COCONUT OIL?
As you will read above in this recipe the coconut oil was used a lot. This is for one reason, the capacity of coconut oil to solidify at low temperatures. That’s why we have to keep our snacks in the fridge. Otherwise they will start to collapse. Of course, the fact that coconut oil has a wonderful smell also helps.
IS IT Necessary to add salt?
Salt has conquered the top of this delicious snack. Personally I love very much the combination of sweet and savory. Salt has the ability to highlight other flavors. If you want you may add a small amount of salt on one spot and not on the whole surface. But you will see that then you will want to add everywhere.
