Instructions

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.

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.

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.

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.

Place in the refrigerator to harden for at least an hour but preferably ~3-4 hours.

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.
