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
- 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.
- 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.
- Freeze the Base: Place the pan in the freezer for 15-20 minutes to allow the base layer to set solidly.
- 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.
- Apply Chocolate Layer: Remove the pan from the freezer and pour the melted chocolate mixture evenly over the peanut butter base layer.
- Add Peanuts: Sprinkle the chopped salted peanuts evenly over the chocolate layer to add texture and flavor.
- Final Freeze: Return the pan to the freezer and chill for 1-2 hours, or until the entire bar is fully set and firm.
- 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.
