Equipment

  • 9 inch loaf pan
  • Parchment paper

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened powdered peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup creamy natural peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup boiling water
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chopped dark chocolate

Instructions

  • Add 1 cup unsweetened powdered peanut butter, 1/4 cup creamy natural peanut butter, 1/2 cup boiling water, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, and 1/4 teaspoon salt to a large mixing bowl, then mix until combined.
  • Melt 1 cup chopped dark chocolate using your preferred method:
    Stovetop: Add the chopped chocolate to a pan over low heat. Stir constantly until just melted, then remove from heat.
    Microwave: Add the chopped chocolate to a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second bursts, stirring between each, until melted.
  • Transfer the melted chocolate to the mixing bowl with the other ingredients, then mix until combined (the batter will be quite thick—similar to cookie dough).
  • Transfer the batter to a 9-inch loaf pan lined with parchment paper, then use your hands to press in an even layer (the batter will be sticky so I recommend wearing kitchen gloves to make this easy).
  • Refrigerate for 1 hour before removing from the pan and slicing.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to up to five days or in the freezer for up to three months. Thaw in the fridge before serving.
