Instructions
1
In a stand mixer or mixing bowl, whisk together 1 1/4 cups of the almond butter, the powdered sugar, the vanilla extract, and the vegan butter. Mix until fully combined and creamy.
2
Using a spoon, stir in 2 1/2 cups of the chopped pretzels and 1/3 of the chocolate chips. Stir until fully mixed together.
3
Line or lightly grease a baking tray (I used an 8x8 but a 9x9 would also work well) and press the almond butter mixture evenly into the bottom of the pan. Set aside.
4
Melt the remaining chocolate and 3/4 cup more of the almond butter. Stir together and then pour over top of the pretzel mixture in the pan. Sprinkle the remaining chopped pretzels over top of the chocolate.
5
Place in the refrigerator to harden for at least an hour but preferably ~3-4 hours.
6
Cut into bite sized pieces and ENJOY!!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Temper Your Chocolate Perfectly 🍫Melt dark chocolate chips in short 20-30 second bursts in the microwave, stirring between each interval to prevent scorching and achieve a smooth, glossy coating that sets beautifully.
- Use Creamy Almond Butter for Smoothness 🥜Opt for natural, creamy almond butter (not chunky) and warm it slightly before mixing to ensure it blends seamlessly with other ingredients without lumps.
- Press Pretzels at the Right Moment ⏱️Press pretzels gently into the almond butter layer while it's still slightly soft but set enough to hold them in place—timing is crucial for optimal texture and presentation.
- Line Your Pan with Parchment Strategically 📋Use parchment paper with slight overhang on two sides for easy removal, and chill the lined pan beforehand to help the base layer set faster.
- Freeze in Stages for Clean Cuts ❄️Freeze for 30 minutes between the almond butter and chocolate layers, then fully freeze for at least 4 hours before cutting with a warm, dry knife for clean, professional-looking bars.
