Snickers Fudge Brownies

For the brownies: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a brownie pan. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in 30-second increments (about two) until completely melted. In a mixing bowl, combine the melted vegan butter, eggs, and melted chocolate until smooth. Add the granulated sugar, cacao powder, oat flour, sea salt, baking powder, and vanilla, then mix until uniform. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 22-25 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely before adding the next layer.

For the salted caramel layer: Add 6-8 soft pitted dates, 1/3 cup salted almond butter, and 2 tablespoons of water to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy (add more water if needed to get the blender going). Pour the caramel into a tupperware and place it in the fridge to firm up for a few minutes while the brownies are cooling. Once the brownies are cooled, spread the caramel on top and finish by topping with roasted salted peanuts. Place the entire dessert in the fridge to set for a few more minutes before slicing and enjoying!
