Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix together almond flour, melted unsalted butter, erythritol sweetener, and vanilla extract until a dough forms.
Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan and bake for 12-15 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine heavy cream, granulated erythritol, butter, and salt. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens and turns a caramel color, about 10-12 minutes.
Pour the caramel mixture over the cooled shortbread crust and spread evenly. Allow to cool and set in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.
In a heatproof bowl, melt the sugar-free dark chocolate chips and coconut oil together using a microwave or double boiler until smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate over the caramel layer and spread evenly.
Chill in the refrigerator until the chocolate is firm, about 1 hour.
Once set, lift the shortbread out of the pan using the parchment paper edges, and cut into 16 square bars.
Serve chilled and store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
