- Melt coconut oil into liquid. In a large bowl mix peanut butter, coconut oil, maple syrup, salt together.
- Pour Maple pb mixture over the cooled cake in one even layer. Top with peanuts or toppings of choice and freeze, flat for about 45 minutes or more. Once it is set, take it out of the freezer and carefully pop the mix out of the bread loaf tin with the parchment paper that hangs out of the edge. Slice into small squares.
