For the top chocolate layer

  • Make the bottom chocolate layer. Combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwavable safe bowl. Heat for 1 minute, then stir until creamy and chocolate chips are melted. Spoon a couple tablespoons into the bottom of the candy bar mold or muffin liners. Transfer to the freezer to set, at least 1 hour.
  • When the bottom chocolate layer is set, layer in the buttercream frosting and date caramel. You will need about 2 tablespoons of each for each mold/muffin liner. Then sprinkle about a tablespoon of peanuts on top.
