In a small saucepan, heat coconut milk and , maple syrup, cashew butter & coconut sugar and a dash of salt over medium heat. Allow the mixture to simmer, stirring frequently, until it thickens into a caramel-like sauce, approximately 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool.
Assemble the Bites:
Spoon a small amount of the ice cream mixture into each cup of a mini muffin pan, filling each about one-third of the way. Freeze for about 30 minutes, or until just set.
Remove the pan from the freezer and drizzle a bit of caramel sauce over the first layer, then add a sprinkle of chopped peanuts. Freeze again for about 15 minutes.
Next, drizzle a layer of the melted chocolates evenly on top.
