How to make these chocolate almond peanut butter bars

Let’s kick off the baking adventure by preheating the oven to a toasty 350°F and giving some love to a 9×13 inch baking dish with a cozy parchment paper lining. Now, in a bowl, mix up the good stuff – coconut oil, peanut butter, brown sugar, eggs, almond extract, and vanilla. Toss in the almond flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt for that extra flavor magic.

Spread that delightful dough into the baking dish, pop it into the oven, and let it dance in there for 20-22 minutes until it’s just right in the middle. Once it’s done, let those bars cool off in their own sweet time.

While our bars are cooling, let’s talk glaze – we’ve got two of them! For Glaze 1, throw 1 cup of chocolate chips and a bit of coconut oil in the microwave. Give it a good stir after each 30-second dance until it’s all melted and smooth. Now, for Glaze 2, it’s the same game, but this time with milk.

Once your bars are cool, slather on the glaze with the milk, give it a short break for 15-20 minutes. Now, let the magic happen – drizzle on the other glaze and take a butter knife to create some sweet swirls (the order doesn’t matter here). Pop those beauties in the fridge for an hour until everything sets.

Slice into bars, and voila! Enjoy these tasty treats, my friend. Keep them happy in a cool spot or chilling in the fridge for that extra dose of freshness. Happy munching!

Storage and Reheating Instructions

This recipe stores very well in the fridge. If you leave these bars at room temperature, they may get a little gooey, and they will last much longer in the fridge. Store for about a week.
