Instructions
- Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.

Notes
- Use crunchy peanut butter or add chopped nuts for texture.

- Top with flaky sea salt for a sweet-salty finish.
- Natural peanut butter is not recommended, as it may affect texture.
- For dairy-free, use plant-based butter.
