Chocolate and almond butter. Are you a fan? Normally I go straight for the chocolate peanut butter combination in baking, but this time I just couldn’t get past my jar of almond butter.

It’s been awhile since I’ve used it for anything other than toast, so I stopped at the jar of almond butter, grabbed a bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips, and got to work.

Since my life is all about quick and easy lately, these salted chocolate almond butter bars are a simple no-bake dessert that require only a microwave.

The bars start with a simple graham cracker crumb crust with a bit of almond butter mixed in. For the topping all you have to do is melt some chocolate chips, stir in some almond butter, and add a few chopped almonds.

Spread it over the base and sprinkle with coarse salt. Refrigerate and eat up!

Sweet and salty. Crunchy and creamy. These no bake bars are perfect in so many ways! And did I mention they’re super easy?!

Bring them to your next bbq or serve them up as an easy dessert for the family. Either way these bars will disappear in a hurry!
