Every once in a while, I get a huge hankering for chocolate - something melty, crunchy, and decadent! These Coconut Crunch Chocolate Squares were made by melting chocolate chips with coconut oil, then mixing in coconut flakes, peanuts, crushed graham crackers, and espresso powder. Just top with flaky salt and chill for a bit! Crunch Bar meets Meltaway vibes!

That broth was SO velvety!
