4-Ingredient No Bake Chocolate Avocado Bars (Graham Cracker Crust)
No bake chocolate avocado bars are the perfect healthier treat for chocolate lovers. They're low in sugar and easy to make. Just 4 essential ingredients!
Ingredients
- 12 graham cracker sheets
- 6 Tbsp unsalted butter*
- 2 cups chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate bars**)
- 2 small avocados (or 1.5 large avocados***, at room temperature)
- ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Finely crush graham crackers with a food processor (or a zippable bag and a rolling pin).
- Melt butter in the microwave at 50% power. Combine crushed graham crackers and melted butter.
- Line an 8x8in or 9x9in square pan with parchment paper. Tightly press the graham cracker mixture into the pan with the back of a measuring cup. Place in the fridge to chill while you make the filling.
- Mash avocados in a bowl with a potato masher or fork. Add vanilla extract and salt, then stir again.
- In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate in the microwave at 50% power in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval. Pour the melted chocolate into the mashed avocado mixture and stir to combine.
- Working quickly, spoon the mixture onto the chilled graham cracker crust. Use a spatula to smooth it out on top.
- Cover and place in the refrigerator to chill for at least 20 minutes. Once set, lift from the pan using the parchment paper flaps. Slice into even bars with a large, sharp knife.
Notes
*If using salted butter, omit the pinch of salt.
**Use dark chocolate for a deeper, richer chocolate flavor, milk chocolate for a lighter, sweeter flavor, or semisweet chocolate for a nice balance. You can use either chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bars.
***This should equal about 1 and 1/3 cup of mashed avocado.
To store: Store bars in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
