In a small saucepan, add 6 tablespoons of maple syrup, 6 tablespoons of coconut oil, 1/2 cup of peanut butter, and 1 teaspoon of sea salt.

Heat on medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, whisking frequently to prevent burning.

Remove from heat once thickened and brown, and let cool slightly.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a mixing bowl, combine 1 1/4 cups of coconut flour, 1/3 cup of softened coconut oil, and 1/4 cup of maple syrup.

Mix until a dough forms, using hands if necessary.

Line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper and press the dough evenly into the pan.

Bake for 10 minutes until golden brown around the edges.

Let the shortbread cool for 10 minutes.

Pour the cooled caramel over the shortbread and spread evenly.

Place the pan in the freezer for 1 hour to set the caramel.

Melt enjoy life chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth.

Once the caramel is set, pour the melted chocolate over the caramel layer and spread evenly.

Return to the freezer until the chocolate is firm, about 30 minutes.

Cut into bars and serve.
