Description

These low-carb Snickers bars are a delicious, sugar-free treat that mimic the classic candy bar using peanut butter, coconut flour, and sugar-free chocolate. Perfect for those following a low-carb or keto lifestyle, these bars are easy to make with no baking required and offer a satisfying combination of creamy, crunchy, and chocolaty flavors.


Ingredients

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. Prepare the Base Mixture: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the peanut butter, coconut flour, and sweetener. Mix thoroughly until a well-combined, thick dough forms.
  2. Form the Base Layer: Line a small loaf pan with parchment paper. Press the peanut butter mixture evenly into the bottom of the pan, creating a firm, flat base.
  3. Freeze the Base: Place the pan in the freezer for 15-20 minutes to allow the base layer to set solidly.
  4. Melt Chocolate Topping: In a separate bowl, melt the sugar-free chocolate chips with the coconut oil, stirring continuously until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Apply Chocolate Layer: Remove the pan from the freezer and pour the melted chocolate mixture evenly over the peanut butter base layer.
  6. Add Peanuts: Sprinkle the chopped salted peanuts evenly over the chocolate layer to add texture and flavor.
  7. Final Freeze: Return the pan to the freezer and chill for 1-2 hours, or until the entire bar is fully set and firm.
  8. Serve: Once set, lift the bars out using the parchment paper, slice into 8 equal bars, and enjoy your low-carb Snickers treats!

Notes

  • Use creamy or crunchy peanut butter based on your preference.
  • Swerve sweetener can be substituted with erythritol or monk fruit sweetener.
  • For a dairy-free version, ensure chocolate chips and coconut oil fit your dietary needs.
  • Store bars in the freezer in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
  • Allow bars to sit a few minutes at room temperature before serving for easier slicing.
