Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal later.
To make the crust, combine almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1/4 cup of erythritol in a mixing bowl. Melt 1/4 cup of butter and add it to the dry ingredients along with 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until the ingredients are well combined and resemble wet sand.
Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
While the crust is cooling, prepare the caramel layer. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, 1/4 cup of butter, and allulose or sugar-free caramel syrup.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring frequently, for about 10 minutes. It should thicken and deepen in color to look like caramel. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before pouring over the baked crust.
To make the chocolate topping, melt the dark chocolate chips together with coconut oil either in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments or using a double boiler over the stove.
Once smooth, pour the chocolate mixture over the caramel layer and smooth it out evenly with a spatula.
Refrigerate the slice for at least 2 hours or until the layers are firm.
Lift the slice from the pan using the parchment overhang and cut it into 12 equal square pieces.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
