This is a great recipe! I just made some with a few substitutions: no pretzels, added Craisins, and used Jif PB with honey instead of almond butter (had to go with whatever I had on-hand!) YUMMY!

Looking forward to trying this. Will take out coconut to make it a bit healthier and I’ll try using Smucker’s all natural chunky peanut butter. Other flavored chips might be good, too, instead of chocolate, as Memily said, “had to go with whatever I had on-hand.”
