Ingredients
  

2 cups pretzel sticks, crushed

1 cup granola

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup

2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted

2 cups plain Greek yogurt (or use dairy-free yogurt for a vegan option)

1/4 cup peanut butter (substitute with almond butter if preferred)

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips

Pinch of sea salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed pretzel sticks, granola, unsweetened cocoa powder, honey (or maple syrup), and melted coconut oil. Stir the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are well integrated and the texture resembles wet sand.

    Form the Layer: Line the bottom of an 8x8 inch (or 9x9 inch) baking dish with parchment paper. Carefully reshape the pretzel mixture into an even layer, pressing it firmly into the dish. Utilize the back of a measuring cup or your hands to compact it tightly for a sturdy base. Set it aside to firm up.

      Make the Yogurt Mixture: In a separate bowl, blend the plain Greek yogurt and peanut butter together using a whisk or spatula until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. Sample the mixture, adding extra honey if you prefer a sweeter flavor.

        Assemble Layers: Pour the creamy yogurt mixture over the prepared pretzel crust. Use a spatula to spread it evenly across the surface, ensuring every corner is filled.

          Add Chocolate Chips: Evenly distribute the dark chocolate chips over the yogurt layer. Gently press the chips down into the yogurt with your fingers to help them adhere.

            Freeze: Cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place it in the freezer. Allow it to freeze for a minimum of 4 hours, or until completely set.

              Slice and Serve: When ready to serve, remove the dish from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes. Using the edges of the parchment paper, lift the bars out of the dish and slice them into squares or rectangles.

                Enjoy: Treat yourself to these delightful Chocolate Pretzel Bars as a chilled sweet snack or a delicious dessert to share!
