How do I ensure the pretzel crust holds its shape?

The crust ingredients, including coconut oil, maple syrup, and almond milk, should be blended until the dough is sticking together, then pressed firmly into the pan before freezing.

What gives the peanut butter filling its sweetness?

The creamy peanut butter filling is naturally sweetened with a combination of four dates and three tablespoons of maple syrup, blended until smooth.

Can I use a blender for both the crust and the filling?

The recipe specifies a blender or food processor for the crust and a food processor for the filling. A powerful blender might work for both, especially for the dates in the filling.

How should I store leftover Peanut Butter Pretzel Bars?

After solidifying in the freezer, these bars should be stored in the freezer. You can serve them straight from the freezer or let them soften slightly at room temperature.

Are there any suggested toppings for these bars?

Yes, the recipe suggests pressing whole or crushed pretzels on top of the peanut butter filling before freezing for extra crunch and flavor.

How to Prepare Peanut Butter Pretzel Bars [Vegan]

Prepare an 8-inch dish by lightly oiling the bottom.
Place all crust ingredients in a blender or food processor. Blend until combined. If some big pieces of pretzel are still there that is ok! You'll just have some crunchy bits. The dough should be sticking together.
Evenly and firmly press crust dough onto the bottom of your pan. Place in freezer as you prepare the filling.
Place all filling ingredients in a food processors and blend until smooth.
Pour filling over crust.
If desired you can press some pretzels on top of the filling. You can use whole pretzels like I did or crush some up and put those on top.
Place bars into freezer until solid.
Serve either straight out of the freezer or allow bars to get all melty at room temperature.
