Description

Deliciously rich and low-carb Snickers bars made with peanut butter, coconut flour, and sugar-free chocolate. These no-bake bars offer a healthier twist on the classic candy bar with crunchy peanuts and smooth chocolate, perfect for satisfying sweet cravings without the guilt.


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. Mix Base Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the unsweetened peanut butter, coconut flour, and Swerve sweetener. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients form a uniform, sticky dough-like mixture.
  2. Prepare the Pan: Line a small loaf pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Evenly press the peanut butter mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan, creating a solid base layer.
  3. Chill the Base: Place the pan in the freezer and allow it to set for 15-20 minutes, which helps to firm up the base for easier layering.
  4. Melt Chocolate Mixture: In a separate bowl, melt the sugar-free chocolate chips and coconut oil together. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and glossy. Optionally, add vanilla extract at this point and mix well.
  5. Pour Chocolate Layer: Remove the peanut butter base from the freezer and carefully pour the melted chocolate mixture over the set layer, spreading evenly to cover the entire surface.
  6. Add Peanut Topping: Sprinkle the chopped salted peanuts evenly over the chocolate layer to add a crunchy texture reminiscent of classic Snickers bars.
  7. Freeze to Set: Return the loaf pan to the freezer and chill for 1-2 hours, allowing the entire bar to solidify thoroughly.
  8. Slice and Serve: Once fully set, remove the bars from the pan using the parchment paper, slice into eight bars, and enjoy your low-carb Snickers treats.

Notes

  • For a smoother chocolate topping, gently warm the chocolate mixture using a double boiler or microwave in short intervals.
  • Swerve sweetener can be replaced with any preferred granular sweetener compatible with low-carb diets.
  • Store the bars in the freezer or refrigerator to keep them firm and fresh.
  • Chopped peanuts can be replaced with other nuts like almonds or walnuts for variation.
