Preparation
  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter and coconut oil. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth and melted.
  2. Add the cocoa powder, powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, and salt to the melted mixture. Stir until well combined.
  3. Line a small baking dish with parchment paper. Pour the mixture into the dish, spreading it evenly. Top with chopped nuts or sugar-free chocolate chips if desired.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until set.
Serving

Notes

If the mixture is too thick, add more melted coconut oil. If too runny, sprinkle in some cocoa powder. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for about a week.
