Nut-free decadent treats are hard to come by. But I swear, these are so good. Even my son who has no allergies and quite honestly, doesn't care for sunflower butter, loves these.

There are plenty of nut-free alternatives to peanut butter but our favorite across the board has been sunflower butter.

You could certainly try this dessert bar recipe with your favorite alternative.

Some alternatives would be Wow Butter or granola butter.

I have only tested the creamy sunbutter variety with this recipe but I imagine the chunky would be great too!

This allergy friendly treat has the perfect combo of sweet and salty.

Since my daughter is the only one with a nut allergy in our house, the rest of us totally miss eating peanut butter and chocolate. This bar is the closest I've found to mimicking the flavors of a peanut butter cup.
