The Holidays are a time for sharing, and these Sea-Salted Chocolate Honey Peanut Butter Bars are perfect for spreading holiday cheer! They're so easy to make and will wow your guests. The combination of peanut butter and honey is decadent and topping that off with salted chocolate is positively sinful; It's the perfect dessert bar! They are completely no-bake and only take about 15 minutes to whip up, so you can impress without spending hours baking. Enjoy and Happy Holidays!


These bars are easy, require only 6 ingredients, take about 15 minutes to make, and can be frozen and thawed as you need them. I can't think of a more perfect holiday dessert!

Servings: 8
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 0 minutes
Total time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

 Crust:
  • 3/4 c. ground graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 Tbsp. cocoa powder
  • 2 Tbsp. honey
  • 1 Tbsp. melted coconut oil
  • pinch of sea salt

Filling:
  • 1/2 c. creamy peanut butter
  • 3 Tbsp. honey
  • 1 Tbsp. melted coconut oil

Topping:
  • 1/4 c. cocoa powder
  • 1/4 c. melted coconut oil
  • 3 Tbsp. honey
  • pinch of sea salt


Directions:
  1. Line a small pan with parchment paper; This will help you lift the bars out easily for cutting.
  2. Stir together crust ingredients until well mixed and pour into your parchment-lined pan. Distribute crust evenly and press down firmly. Place in freezer while preparing the filling.
  3. Whisk all filling ingredients together and pour onto your crust. Spread evenly and place pan in freezer while preparing the chocolate topping.
  4. Whisk all topping ingredients together except the sea salt. Pour over the filling layer and tilt the pan to spread it evenly. Place in freezer for a few minutes to set, then sprinkle with the sea salt. Return to freezer to set completely.

  5. Once completely set, you can remove the parchment lining from the pan and cut (while frozen) into bars. You can return these to the freezer and thaw a few at a time, or move to the fridge if you will be serving soon. I would put these out on the countertop about an hour before serving.
