Ingredients
Method
- Line an 8x8 or a 9x9 pan with parchment paper.
- Place the crushed pretzels, oats, almonds, chocolate chips, salt and vanilla in a bowl and stir to combine.
- Whisk together the peanut butter and honey. You may need to heat the mixture in the microwave or stove top slightly to get it smooth and combined.
- Add the peanut butter mixture to the oat mixture and stir to thoroughly combine. Press the mixture into the prepared pan and top with more crushed pretzels or chocolate chips if you like. Chill for 1 hour before slicing.
- Cut into bars. Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for longer storage. Enjoy!
Notes
- For extra flavor, toast the almonds lightly before chopping them. This enhances their nutty aroma.
- If your peanut butter and honey mixture is too thick, warm it gently in the microwave for 15-20 seconds until easily whisked.
- I always listen for a smooth, even consistency when mixing the wet ingredients, as lumps can make the bars crumbly. If the mixture cracks when pressing, ensure the wet-to-dry ratio is correct; sometimes slightly more peanut butter helps.
- Store leftover peanut butter bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 2 months for a quick grab-and-go snack. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically. Values vary with brands, substitutions and portion sizes.
