Gluten-Free Chocolate-Covered Bars

by

If you’re craving a sweet treat that’s gluten-free and delicious, these chocolate-covered bars are perfect! They have a soft, chewy center and are coated in rich, dark chocolate, making them ideal for an indulgent snack or dessert.

ngredients:

  • 1 cup almond flour (or coconut flour for a nut-free option)
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (or honey for a thicker, chewier texture)
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (or almond butter for a milder taste)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips, melted (ensure they’re gluten-free)

  • Instructions:

    1. Prepare the base mixture: In a medium bowl, mix together the almond flour, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until smooth and well-combined.
    2. Form the bars: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Pour the mixture into the dish, pressing it down firmly with a spatula or your fingers to create an even layer. Freeze for 20-30 minutes until firm.
    3. Cut into bars: Once the base has set, remove it from the freezer and lift it out using the parchment paper. Cut it into bars or squares of your desired size.
    4. Coat with chocolate: Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each until fully melted and smooth. Dip each bar into the melted chocolate, using a fork to lift it out and allowing any excess chocolate to drip off.
    5. Set the chocolate: Place the chocolate-covered bars on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for 10-15 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened.
    6. Serve and store: Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
    7. These gluten-free chocolate-covered bars are versatile, customizable, and so satisfying. Whether you prefer almond, coconut, or peanut butter as a base, these bars will satisfy your chocolate cravings without the gluten!
