Notes

These no-bake bars are super easy to make and require zero cooking skills, just a bit of mixing and pressing into a pan! Use a natural sweetener that you like the taste of, as it will come through in the final product. If you’re using chopped dark chocolate instead of chocolate chips, be prepared for a slightly chunkier texture.

Make sure to press the dough evenly into the pan, you don’t want any thin spots! Cut these babies into whatever size bars you like, just keep in mind they’ll be more fragile if you cut them too small.

If you don’t plan on devouring these within a few days, consider freezing them for up to 3 months and then thawing as needed.
