I was so excited to see this recipe! I made it almost immediately. I did find the cutting part to be a bit difficult to do – do heed Kate’s advice with the even pressure on the knife so the chocolate doesn’t crack.

Of note, I tried this with maple syrup because my honey was running low. The bars were a bit crumbly even though I did press firmly and multiple times with a glass. I’m wondering if the crumbling was due to the maple syrup, which does appear to be less viscous than honey.

Anyway, I love all your baking recipes because they aren’t buttery/oily and make me feel good even though I’m having something sweet :)

These are phenomenal! I was looking for a quick and easy dessert option and these seemed like a good fit. They have a lovely peanut crunch. The sea salt and pecans are a perfect addition. I toasted the pecans first for a little more richness. WOW! YUM! I will definitely make these again.

I’m sorry to hear that, Gretchen. The almond butter shouldn’t have been an issue. Did you mix it well prior to using it? How large of pan did you use?

The end result was very crumbly and really couldn’t be eaten as a bar. I ended up using it as a topping on yogurt, which was delicious, just not what I was looking for. The only sub I made was to use natural almond butter (peanut allergy). I wonder if that made it less sticky? I was sure to press down very hard in the pan and chilled as directed. I probably won’t make this one again.

Thanks for the reply. I’m definitely pressing them down firmly, very firmly. I also let them chill overnight before cutting. I guess using the honey is the best bet so I will stick with that. They are incredibly yummy so thanks for sharing this recipe!

Hi! Sorry to disappoint about the sweetener, but changing that will impact how they hold together. As for them falling apart. Are you pressing them down firm and letting them chill long enough?

I’ve made them twice now but, despite significant effort compacting, the base still crumbles when cutting and moving to a storage container. Any tips to help with this? Also, I would aprreciate ideas on what I can use instead of honey to make them a little less sweet.

Thanks!
