2 Tablespoons coconut oil, melted
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions
Line an 8 x 8-inch baking dish or deep baking tray of choice with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium bowl mix together peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, coconut oil, and vanilla together until smooth. *If your peanut butter is not drippy, but quite firm add more coconut oil*. Add in collagen protein and . mix together. Add in melted chocolate and mix. Lastly, add in puffed rice, hemp seeds and sunflower seeds and mix together until combined. Mix quickly before the mixture starts to harden as the chocolate cools. I like to use my hands to mix it!
Pour into an 8x8inch pan lined with parchment paper and Press it down firmly!
Sprinkle with flakey maldon sea salt (and press in to help it stick) and let it set in the freezer for up to an hour. Cut into bars and then you can store it in the fridge or freezer. Enjoy!
Notes
