No-Bake Gluten Free Nut Butter Pretzel Squares are easy to make, need only a few ingredients, and will disappear quickly! Simple ingredient swaps make it easy to customize them to fit your taste buds.
Using a food processor, pulse the pretzel sticks into fine crumbs to yield 2 cups. You'll need approximately 4 cups of pretzel sticks to create 2 cups of crumbs.
Stir together the pretzel crumbs, melted butter, powdered sugar, and 1 cup of the nut butter, in a medium bowl, until thoroughly combined.
Place the pretzel mixture in an ungreased 9-inch square pan. Using a rubber spatula, press the mixture evenly around the bottom of the pan.
Microwave the chocolate chips and remaining ¼ cup nut butter in a microwave safe bowl on high for 30 seconds. Stir the mixture. Alternate microwaving for 30 seconds and stirring until the mixture is smooth.
Spread the melted chocolate and nut butter mixture over the pretzel layer.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes and allow the mixture to set up before cutting into squares.
Store the squares in an air tight container in the refrigerator. (Note: Cutting the squares after the initial 30 minutes is recommended. Waiting longer will make it more difficult to get clean cuts in the chocolate.)
Notes
We enjoy these squares made with either almond butter and dark chocolate or peanut butter and semi-sweet chocolate.Recipe slightly adapted from Trisha's Table.
