    Ingredients

    peanut butter ice cream bar ingredients.

    Ice Cream Layer

    • Maple syrup. Or your favorite liquid sweeteners.
    • Vanilla extract & salt. For flavor, and chopped peanuts to layer.

    Peanut Butter Caramel

    • Peanut butter. I used runny type, with peanuts the only ingredient.

    • Coconut milk. Canned full fat canned coconut milk, room temperature.

    Chocolate Shell

    • Chocolate chips.
    • Coconut oil.
