Description

Delicious and easy-to-make Low-Carb Snickers Bars that offer a satisfying sweet treat without the extra carbs. Made with creamy peanut butter, coconut flour, and sugar-free chocolate, these bars are perfect for anyone looking for a healthier alternative to traditional candy bars.


Ingredients

Scale

Base Layer

  • 1 cup unsweetened peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1/4 cup Swerve sweetener (or any sweetener of choice)

Topping

  • 1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chopped salted peanuts


Instructions

  1. Combine base ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the peanut butter, coconut flour, and sweetener until all ingredients are well combined to create a uniform dough-like mixture.
  2. Prepare the pan: Line a small loaf pan with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the bars later. Press the peanut butter mixture evenly into the bottom of the pan to form the base layer.
  3. Freeze base layer: Place the pan in the freezer for 15-20 minutes to allow the base layer to firm up and set properly.
  4. Melt chocolate topping: In a separate bowl, combine the sugar-free chocolate chips and coconut oil. Melt the mixture together using a microwave in short bursts or over a double boiler, stirring continuously until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Assemble bars: Remove the pan from the freezer and evenly pour the melted chocolate mixture over the set peanut butter base layer.
  6. Add chopped peanuts: Sprinkle the chopped salted peanuts evenly over the chocolate layer to add a crunchy texture and enhance flavor.
  7. Freeze to set: Return the pan to the freezer and allow the bars to set for 1-2 hours until the chocolate is firm.
  8. Slice and serve: Once fully set, remove the bars from the pan using the parchment paper, slice into 8 even bars, and enjoy your low-carb Snickers bars.

Notes

  • You can substitute the sweetener to fit your dietary preferences, such as erythritol or monk fruit sweetener.
  • Keep the bars stored in the freezer or refrigerator to maintain firmness.
  • For added texture, consider adding a layer of chopped low-carb caramel or using crunchy peanut butter in the base.
  • Make sure to use sugar-free chocolate chips to keep the recipe low-carb.
  • These bars are great for a quick snack or a guilt-free dessert.
