• CRUNCHY INSIDE: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine the natural sweetener, extracts and coconut oil with a fork until small crumbs form.
• Place on the baking sheet and spread into a thin sheet. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.

• NUGGET: Meanwhile make the nugget. In a heat safe medium bowl place ¼ cup of butter, ¼ cup sweetener and stevia if using, cream cheese, ¼ cup natural peanut butter, 1 tsp vanilla and heat until soft and stir able (I heated in microwave for 1 minute). Stir until well combined.
• Add the nugget to the tiny bits of crispy fat bomb. Stir well. Pour into a 4 x 4 inch glass Tupperware container lined with Parchment paper. Smooth over the top. Place in fridge to set.
• CHOCOLATE COATING: Make the chocolate coating by melting coconut oil over low heat. Stir in chocolate, natural sweeteners, extracts and salt until completely melted.
• Once the nugget is cool spread the chocolate over the top. Place back in fridge to set. Cut into bars and enjoy!
