No-Bake Chocolate Almond Butter Bars

These No-Bake Chocolate Almond Butter Bars are easy to make with just five ingredients and no baking necessary! You’ve got to sink your teeth into these rich gluten-free and vegan bars.

Have you ever had those super thick, Reese’s-like peanut butter bars, with a thin layer of chocolate on top? They are super-rich and SUPER chocolatey, with loads of peanut butter. Exactly what I’ve always dreamed of Reese’s being.

This type of bar is typically made with butter, peanut butter, and graham cracker crumbs…usually powdered sugar too. Definitely not health food, but holy cow. They’re so good. I used to make them all the time back in high school, always to rave reviews and big smiley faces.

Well, these No-Bake Chocolate Almond Butter Bars are pretty much the healthy almond butter version of those bars, and they are JUST as smile-inducing as the originals.

Only five ingredients are necessary for these Chocolate Almond Butter Bars!

These bars come together with just:

• Creamy almond butter: I like using creamy nut butter, but if you want crunchy bits, go ahead with crunchy. I’ll also note that most kinds of nut butter would work here – use peanut butter for something more like the classic, or even go for pecan butter or cashew butter. Just make sure whatever you’re using is 100% nuts – no weird additives or sweeteners please.
• Pure maple syrup: honey or agave would also do the trick if you prefer the flavor of one to the others, just avoid honey to keep vegan.
• Coconut flour: it gives the bars that Reese’s-like texture that graham cracker crumbs replicate in the original recipe and gives a nice bite.
• Dark chocolate: I’m a dark chocolate girl, but if milk if you’re thing, feel free! Use a vegan milk chocolate if you’re dairy-free or vegan.
• Coconut oil: I like using refined coconut oil since it doesn’t have any coconut flavor.

You can prep these No-Bake Chocolate Almond Butter Bars within ten minutes, and have them ready to devour in a few hours after they’ve chilled. You won’t be able to resist these. No one can believe they’re gluten-free, paleo, refined sugar-free, dairy-free AND vegan. Enjoy! :)
