Ingredients
  

2 cups graham cracker crumbs

1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/2 cup finely chopped nuts (such as walnuts or almonds)

1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles (plus additional for topping)

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup almond butter (or your choice of nut/seed butter)

1/3 cup pure maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1 cup dairy-free chocolate chips (or regular chocolate chips)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pan: Start by lining an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing a little bit of overhang on the sides. This will help you easily lift the bars out later.

    Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the graham cracker crumbs, shredded coconut, finely chopped nuts, rainbow sprinkles, cocoa powder, and sea salt. Ensure all ingredients are fully blended for an even flavor throughout.

      Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, add the almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir together until the mixture is smooth and thoroughly combined.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir well until everything is fully combined into a thick, sticky dough. If the mixture feels too dry, you can incorporate a little more maple syrup or almond butter as needed.

          Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula, ensuring they're evenly distributed. You may want to reserve a few chocolate chips for garnishing on top later.

            Press into Pan: Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, pressing it down firmly with your hands or a spatula to create an even layer. Make sure the mixture is compact to help the bars hold their shape.

              Chill: Top the mixture with extra rainbow sprinkles for a festive touch. Cover the dish with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm to the touch.

                Slice and Serve: Once chilled and set, use the parchment overhang to lift the bars out of the baking dish. Place them on a cutting board and slice into squares or bars of your choice.

                  Enjoy: Serve these delightful no-bake birthday cake bars as a delicious sweet treat for any celebration or simply as a wonderful snack!
