It’s nearly the weekend and I hope I get you inspired to get baking with these Almond Butter Crispy Chocolate Bars! Seriously, this recipe is really, really delicious!
This is a no-bake, gluten free and vegan slice. So this is going to appeal to so many of you, I hope! The base is a crunchy almond butter texture, really yummy, the topping a simple made from scratch soft chocolate topping. I usually go for the melted dark chocolate block but for this recipe, a softer chocolate topping is fantastic!
