  1. So I definitely have had some late-night road trips in my day…granted that day was a long time ago, but still. I get it! These tips are great…and I do love to keep a bottle of water handy while driving on a long trip. But now I’m going to have to keep a bottle of water AND some of these chocolate pretzel bars handy. I love chocolate-covered pretzels, so I know these bars are right up my alley. Salty + sweet is how I like to roll when it comes to desserts! And these are in bar form, so they’re easy to eat, too! Make sure to make a double batch for your roadtrip when you move up here. ๐Ÿ˜‰

  2. Shashi, you are making me want to go on a road trip just so I can eat!!!! For reals! I drink water like it’s going out of style. So much water, all the time. It is alwaaaaays with me. I have to be careful not to drink too much while on the road, though…..cause pee breaks ๐Ÿ˜‰ There’s this little mom and pop shop restaurant not far from where I grew up, but a little ways away from where I live now and they have the BEST fries…well fries with dressing (aka stuffing) and gravy as we like to have around here. I would make a special trip to pick some of that up. Love it smothered in vinegar, but you know we can’t eat that kind of thing every day! Imagine if calories didn’t count? A girl can dream, right?? Now these bars? Aaaaamazing! Totally pinning. Digging all the sweet/salty flavours you have going on here and can’t wait to try. I wouldn’t even need to go on a road trip to enjoy these ๐Ÿ˜‰ Have a wonderful upcoming weekend, my friend! xo

  3. These look delicious! When I was younger and driving a long distance by myself, especially at night, I would stop and indulge in one of those crazy sugar-filled “lattes” you get at 7-11s. Insane, but it did the trick! These look like a much healthier option – far better suited to me now as a mama. ๐Ÿ™‚

  4. The combinations of pretzels and chocolate always warms my little heart. You and your daughter know how to live. Cake for lunch and dessert, yes please ๐Ÿ˜‰ Iโ€™m loving your road trip essentials list. Great Post ๐Ÿ™‚ Thanks for sharing

  5. You drove to SC for cake?! You SHOULD have kept the car ride going (after getting your fill of cake of course) and visited me in NC! I would have fed you! <3 So how far have I gone for my love of food? Hmmm. I don't know to be honest. I've never driven HOURS for food. Although I have contemplating flying back home to Orlando JUST to eat at my favorite sushi restaurant. I've never done it though! Oh, one of boy and I's favorite restaurants here is about 50 minutes away, and we will make that drive! Does that count?!? ๐Ÿ˜‰ Anyways, speaking of the Boy, he LOOOVES chocolate covered pretzels, so I KNOW he will love these! Plus I will love that they are actually HEALTHY for him!! Love that you sweetened them with dates! And only 8 ingredients?! I GOT THIS! Cheers, dear! xo

  6. These healthy chocolate pretzel bars are just awesome. I am definitely going to make these pretzels when I will plan for the road trip. Loved the Road Trip Essentials tips also. Thanks ๐Ÿ™‚

  7. Hey my friend – so now you got me thinking about that Brick Street Chocolate Cake again!!! And the sweet potato one too. GAH!!!! For me it would be about a twenty hour drive for a slice, and then I’d need to have a few panfuls of these amazing chocolate pretzel bars for the drive home…and lots of Nestle bottled water to boot!!! Love that you sweetened these bars with dates. That drizzled chocolate!!! You and your daughter know how to love, that’s for sure. XOXO

  8. I’m addicted to Pretzels Shash.

    That’s one snack that I Lynne knows if she buys a packet I’ll be finishing it within the hour!

    But I think baking these delicious and healthy chocolate pretzel bars could mean I would eat less of the Pretzels, as they would be needed for this recipe!

    Oh, and for long trips, like you I’m a water guzzler too! ๐Ÿ™‚

  9. Haha, your “getting totally caked” made me laugh, Shashi! This should be in all idiomatic dictionaries:) We’re not that easy-going to travel just looking for a specific food, but when we’re planning a trip, we always check what kind of local deliciousness this place is famous for. And you’re totally right about these snacks when it comes to a trip – we always have some fruit or nuts. I don’t know why, but road trips make us crave for something dangerously unhealthy like donuts (And it’s normally not one or two donuts – it’s a packed box!). That’s why it’s a good idea to have some homemade stuff like these bars. Made with oats and figs, there’s my huge YES! Perfect treats!

  10. Ah, I love the addition of dates here to sweeten these bars. I mean chocolate-covered pretzels are a favorite of mine, so of course I’m going to love bars that feature those flavors! A batch of these would NOT be safe around here. ๐Ÿ™‚

  11. We often travel to visit family early in the morning so these will be perfect as part of our picnic breakfast!
