Layers Of Chocolate Almond Butter Goodness

I am a huge fan of no-bake recipes, and this recipe did not disappoint. Some of my all-time favorite foods include chocolate and almond butter. For this recipe I had to combine them.

The base is a buttery and delicious crust that brings the whole recipe together. Not only is this recipe no-bake, but also only six ingredients. I know for a fact these will be on repeat all summer long.

These were a huge hit in my family. They were completely gone within a day of making them. These bars remind me a little of a candy bar but with their own twist.

This recipe can be customizable. You could add in any extras to the crust, middle, or top. Next time I make this recipe I am planning to either add sprinkles or Oreos to the chocolate. Adding fruit would also be super yummy as well.

I used monk fruit as the sugar for this recipe. White, brown, coconut, or any granulated sugar will work. The same goes for the powdered sugar. You can use traditional powdered sugar or an alternative like monk fruit based powdered sugar. I did a mixture of both. 

 For the vegan butter, I always use Earth Balance. I have found it to be the best vegan butter to bake with. 

I personally prefer almond butter over peanut butter so that is why I used it in this recipe. If you are a huge peanut butter lover or any other nut or seed butter lover, you can substitute that. 

TIP: when melting your chocolate add around ½ a tablespoon of coconut oil. This makes the chocolate become super easy to work with and there will be no clumps.
