Ingredients
  

For the Base:

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup melted coconut oil

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Peanut Butter Swirl:

1 cup natural peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Chocolate Layer:

1 cup dark chocolate chips

1 tablespoon coconut oil

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base:

    - In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, cocoa powder, sugar, melted coconut oil, salt, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined and crumbly.

      - Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of a lined 9x9-inch baking dish. Create a compact layer using the back of a measuring cup or your fingers.

        Make the Peanut Butter Swirl:

          - In a separate bowl, mix together the peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), salt, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

            - Spoon dollops of the peanut butter mixture over the chocolate base. Use a knife or a skewer to swirl the peanut butter into the base, creating a marbled effect. Be careful not to overmix; you want to see both layers.

              Prepare the Chocolate Layer:

                - In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Melt over low heat or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until completely smooth.

                  - Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer, spreading it gently to cover the top evenly.

                    Freeze the Bars:

                      - Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until completely firm.

                        Cut and Serve:

                          - Once frozen, remove the bars from the dish and let them sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for easier cutting.

                            - Cut into squares or rectangles, and enjoy these decadent frozen treats! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer.
