No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel Bars
No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel Bars are simple to make, only require 6 ingredients, and are full of that salty-sweet flavor that everyone loves!
Since the holiday season is coming up, I wanted to make some "baked goods" for my family. I decided to make bars that were made with a little bit healthier ingredients and were actually no-bake so that they were easier and I had less of a chance of messing them up!
They turned out so good and are perfect for the holidays, especially for any of you that are not proficient bakers like I am not. I used peanut butter as the base for that delicious peanut butter flavor all through the bars. I also used coconut butter for healthier fats.
My daughter thinks that these are like candy which I am okay with! It is a dessert that is a little bit healthier with lots of healthy fats. I loved how thick and chewy the bars are- they are similar to fudge.
