Chocolate Maple Pretzel Bars. Sweet & Salty will forever be my favorite combination! So, this marriage of sweet chocolate and maple with salty pretzels stuffed between an oat crust is seriously addictive! You will be making a second batch in no time. So, I recommend just doubling or tripling it the first time around!
What can I say? I am a die-hard lover of all things salty & sweet! So when Nuts ‘N More launched their new Chocolate Maple Pretzel peanut butter I knew I had to create something right away! I wanted something easy, something that highlighted the new flavor and something that made you want to keep coming back for more! Well, all I have to say is that these Chocolate Maple Pretzel Bars do exactly that! I had this pan gone in less than 48 hours. Don’t judge me!
Then again, the quick disappearance of these Chocolate Maple Pretzel Bars doesn’t really surprise me that much! I have been obsessed with Nuts ‘N More and pretzel combinations forever! These chocolate pretzel bars are where it all began! But, the white chocolate sesame cranbutter bars took the gold soon after! They have been the number one most loved Nuts ‘N More recipe to date! I wonder if these new Maple Chocolate Pretzel Bars will surpass then…..?
But, while we ponder that let’s talk a little bit more about these sweet & savory goodies! With only 6 whole ingredients; oats, oat flour, coconut oil , pretzels, sweetener and that delicious Maple Chocolate Pretzel you can have these healthy, yet sinfully tasting bars ready in no time! Just imagine a chocolate covered pretzel smooshed between a good oatmeal cookie! Yup, that is exactly what these Chocolate Maple Pretzel Bars are like. Heaven. Just heaven! Now, all I have to say is, “Be Like Nike. Just Do It.”
