Description

These Low-Carb Snickers Bars are a delicious and healthier alternative to traditional Snickers candies. Made with peanut butter, coconut flour, sugar-free sweetener, and chocolate, these bars are perfect for anyone looking to satisfy their sweet tooth without the extra carbs. With a crunchy peanut topping and a rich chocolate layer, they are easy to prepare and freeze to enjoy anytime.


Ingredients

Scale

Base Layer

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

Chocolate 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. Mix the base: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the peanut butter, coconut flour, and sweetener. Stir until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined, creating a thick dough.
  2. Prepare the pan: Line a small loaf pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Press the peanut butter mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the pan, creating a solid base layer.
  3. Freeze the base: Place the loaf pan in the freezer and chill for 15-20 minutes. This allows the base to firm up and makes handling easier when adding the topping.
  4. Melt the chocolate: In a separate bowl, gently melt the sugar-free chocolate chips and coconut oil together, either using a microwave in short intervals or a double boiler. Stir constantly until you achieve a smooth, glossy chocolate mixture. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
  5. Add chocolate layer: Remove the loaf pan from the freezer and carefully pour the melted chocolate mixture over the peanut butter base, spreading it evenly.
  6. Top with peanuts: Sprinkle the chopped salted peanuts evenly over the melted chocolate to add crunch and flavor.
  7. Freeze to set: Return the pan to the freezer and chill for 1-2 hours, or until the bars are completely firm.
  8. Slice and serve: Once set, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper, slice into 8 even bars, and enjoy your low-carb Snickers bars.

Notes

  • Use unsweetened peanut butter for best low-carb results.
  • Swerve sweetener can be substituted with erythritol, monk fruit, or another preferred low-carb sweetener.
  • Ensure chocolate chips are sugar-free to keep carbs low.
  • Store bars in the freezer in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
  • Allow bars to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before eating if they are too hard from freezing.
