Step 3: Form the Base Layer

  1. Pour half of the melted chocolate into the prepared pan.

Dietary Adaptations

  • Dairy-Free (Pareve): Use dairy-free kosher chocolate and coconut oil instead of butter.

  • Gluten-Free: Naturally gluten-free; verify powdered sugar is certified gluten-free.

  • Low-Sugar Option: Use sugar-free chocolate and substitute powdered sugar with a powdered erythritol blend.

  • Crunchy Version: Use crunchy peanut butter or add 2 tablespoons chopped roasted peanuts.

Tips & Troubleshooting

  • Chocolate Seizing: Avoid water contact when melting chocolate.

  • Smooth Finish: Gently tap pan on counter to remove air bubbles.

  • Cutting Clean Squares: Warm knife under hot water, dry thoroughly, then slice.

  • Too Soft Filling: Chill peanut butter layer 10 minutes before adding final chocolate layer.

Serving Suggestions

  • Serve chilled or slightly softened at room temperature.

  • Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top before final chill for a gourmet touch.

  • Drizzle with melted white chocolate for decorative contrast.

  • Package in decorative boxes for kosher holiday gifts (Purim, Hanukkah, or Shabbat treats).

Notes

  • Ensure all ingredients bear reliable kosher certification.

  • If serving at a meat meal, prepare as pareve using dairy-free chocolate and coconut oil.
