Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, and line an 8×8 baking dish with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, add all ingredients for the base layer and stir until a dough forms. Press into the parchment lined pan evenly.
Bake for 12 minutes until slightly puffed and golden brown at the edges, then cool for 10 minutes. Turn off the oven.
In a mixing bowl, stir together all ingredients for the peanut butter pumpkin filling until smooth. Pour over the baked base and smooth out the top with a spatula. Place in the freezer while you make the chocolate layer.
Combine chocolate chips and coconut oil and melt together in a microwave or a double boiler. Stir together then evenly pour over the peanut butter pumpkin layer, tilting the pan to spread evenly.
Freeze for at least 1 hour until set. Slice into 16 squares and enjoy! You can store in the refrigerator or the freezer.
