Variations
Ooooh many options for variations, I might keep playing with this recipe to create more no bake bars. You could switch up the nut butter used, but I would definitely recommend using a chunky nut butter so you get the crunch from the nuts in the base layer. You could also leave the peanut butter drizzle off the top for a more dark chocolate forward treat. Or you could even do a chocolate chunk version instead of spreading on the chocolate layer.
All in all
These gluten free and dairy free no bake bars are the perfect treat to make on a hot summer day. They are a great snack option to satisfy your sweet tooth, or a great dessert for those who need a good gf, df, and vegan treat. They're also mom, dad, and brother approved (I think my sis would approve if she got to try one). Happy August! Love, Kelso
