if i can convince you to make one dessert this week…it should be Vegan Peanut Butter Pretzel Chocolate Bars!
follow upbeetandkaleingitblog.com for EASY and delicious vegan recipes!
Vegan Peanut Butter Pretzel Chocolate Bars are out of control delicious and made with a peanut butter, pretzel and date base.

i am truly surprised the bars actually became a finished product because i kept eating the base, ha.
the center is just a simple peanut butter, maple syrup, coconut flour and coconut oil filling.
it’s simple and brings the bottom and top layer flavors together.
lastly, the top layer is just melted chocolate chips! i opted for a lower sugar one that is sweetened with coconut sugar.

the salty component from the pretzels is beyond delicious truly what pulls this recipe together.
while Vegan Peanut Butter Pretzel Chocolate Bars aren’t too sweet, they still need that salty touch from the pretzels.
Vegan Peanut Butter Pretzel Chocolate Bars should be stored in the freezer and thawed a bit before eating them.
i recommend this so the pretzels don’t get soggy, which they will if you store the bars in the fridge.

here’s everything you need to make Vegan Peanut Butter Pretzel Chocolate Bars
pretzels of your choosing
runny peanut butter (whole foods brand, trader joe’s, crazy richard’s, sprouts brand)
