No Bake Chocolate Pretzel Bars
Easy No Bake Chocolate Pretzel Bars are the perfect sweet and salty treat that you'll want to make again and again! Made with just 7 ingredients, including pretzels, pecans and chocolate, these bars couldn't be easier to whip up.
Servings: 16 bars
Ingredients
for the bottom layer:
- 2 cups pretzels plus extra for topping
- 2 cups pecans
- 1 1/2 cups dates pitted
- 2 tbsp almond butter or nut butter of choice
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/8 tsp salt
for the chocolate layer:
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
- 1/2 tsp coconut oil
Instructions
- Line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper, leaving a 1" overhang for easy removal, then spray the sides of the dish with nonstick spray; set aside.
- Place the pretzels and pecans in your food processor and pulse for 10-15 seconds. Then, add the dates, almond butter, maple syrup, and salt and pulse until everything comes together, about 30 seconds. The mixture should stick together when you pinch it with your fingers.
- Scoop the mixture out of your food processor and into the prepared baking dish, using your hands or a rubber spatula to press it down. Place the dish in the freezer for 10 minutes.
- Next, add the chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 60-90 seconds, stirring every 30 seconds until the chocolate is smooth.
- Pour the chocolate over the bars, then sprinkle with crushed pretzels (optional). Place the bars in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
- Pull on the parchment paper to remove the bars, then slice them into 9 large bars or 16 smaller bars. Enjoy!
