This fabulous Reese’s Bars recipe combines everything awesome about our old favorite non-Paleo peanut butter filled candy cup and replaces it with healthy, delicious ingredients spread on top of a beautiful almond flour based crust. Everything is better with a crust, right? The answer, my friend, is always “yes”!

I love these Reese’s Bars for a few reasons, not least because they are super fun to make and look at because of the layers of crust, nutty creamy filling and chocolate topping. Even though there are three layers there are only 5 main ingredients! How incredible is that? They’re fantastically delicious, it is true, and they are ridiculously satisfying for curbing a sweet toothed moment. One other thing: I highly recommend that you step out of your usual almond butter loving comfort zone and make the cashew butter filling version. It is amazing!

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line the bottom of a 4×8 inch rectangular loaf pan with parchment paper. In a large bowl combine the ingredients for the crust. Evenly press the dough into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
  2. Bake for 10-15 minutes. The crust is done when it is lightly brown and firm to the touch. Let the crust cool before spreading the filling.
  3. In a bowl, combine the almond butter, coconut oil, raw honey. Mix and reserve about ¼ of the mixture for the chocolate topping. Spread the almond butter filling onto the cooled crust. Place the bars in the freezer to firm up before spreading the chocolate mixture on top of the almond filling.
  4. To make the chocolate topping add unsweetened cocoa powder to the reserved almond butter filling and sweeten to taste.
  5. Spread on top of the semi-frozen bars. Place in the fridge to firm. Store the bars in the refrigerator.

  1. I love these bars! Awesome! Another great switch up, if you like a true chocolate taste, is to keep the middle layer as is and top with a simple raw fudge: 1/2 c. raw honey, 5 TB coconut oil, 1/2 c. cocoa powder, and 1/8 tsp salt. (may omit salt if using a salted nut butter) Delish!
