Notes

*Any almond butter will work, but blanched almond butter makes these bars lighter in color (for a more realistic birthday cake look). Feel free to substitute with any creamy nut or seed butter (like cashew butter or sunflower seed butter).

**Cacao butter is what makes these bars harden at room temperature. You may substitute the 3 Tbsp cacao butter with 4 Tbsp coconut butter, but the texture will be slightly different.
