Pretzel Millionaire Bars

I love millionaire bars. You know, the shortbread stacked with caramel and melted chocolate? They’re so easy to make and even more satisfying to eat. I had a big bag of gluten-free pretzels taking up space in my pantry, so I decided to pulse them up to make a crust, layer it with my favorite ingredient date caramel mixed with almond butter, and cover it with dark chocolate. You really can’t get better than that.
Ingredients
- 3 cups gluten-free pretzels
- 1/2 cup desiccated or shaved coconut
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 cup almond butter
- 1 cup date caramel
- 1 bag Hu gems
Directions
Line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Pulse the pretzels and coconut in a food processor and slowly pour in the melted coconut oil and maple syrup until it forms a doughy consistency.
- Press the crust into the bottom of the pan using your fingers.
- Freeze for 10-15 minutes.
- Stir together the date caramel and almond butter and spread in an even layer over the crust. Place bake in the freezer for 10-15 more minutes.
- Cut the bars into rectangles about 2"x1". Using tongs or a fork, dip the bars into the chocolate to fully coat. Carefully place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Once all of the bars have been dipped in chocolate, place them back in the freezer until the chocolate has solidified. Wrap in parchment paper and enjoy as an afternoon treat!
