Instructions

Crust

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF and line an 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper or spray with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
  • Mix all ingredients for the crust in a medium-sized bowl. Mix together and then use your hands to form a ball with the dough.
  • Place ball in the greased 8x8 pan and flatten to the bottom of the pan with your hands or a spatula.
  • Place into the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool completely. Set aside.

Bars

  • Place chocolate chips and coconut oil into a microwave safe container. Heat on high for 30 second intervals (stirring in between intervals) until chocolate chips are melted. Stir until smooth.
  • Pour melted chocolate over crust and evenly spread the chocolate to the outer edges of the crust with a spatula.
  • Sprinkle chopped pretzels and crushed peppermints over the top of the chocolate.
  • Place peppermint pretzel bars into the freezer for 5 minutes to let the chocolate set*.
  • Remove from the freezer and remove bars from the pan by carefully lifting parchment paper straight out of the pan and on to a cutting board. Cut into pieces and serve.
  • Place in the freezer to set for 5 minutes so that you can cut into bars.

Tips & Notes

  • Do not freeze the bars completely or bars will be difficult to cut.
