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
- Mix the base layer: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the unsweetened peanut butter, coconut flour, and sweetener. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well-combined, forming a thick dough-like consistency.
- Prepare the pan: Line a small loaf pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Press the peanut butter mixture evenly into the bottom of the pan, ensuring a firm and uniform layer.
- Freeze to set the base: Place the loaf pan in the freezer for 15-20 minutes. This step helps the base layer to firm up and become easier to work with for the next stage.
- Melt the chocolate topping: In a separate bowl, combine the sugar-free chocolate chips and coconut oil. Gently melt them together over a double boiler or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring continuously until smooth and glossy. Add vanilla extract and stir well to incorporate.
- Assemble the bars: Remove the pan from the freezer and pour the melted chocolate mixture evenly over the firm peanut butter base. Spread gently to cover the entire surface.
- Add the nuts: Sprinkle the chopped salted peanuts evenly over the chocolate layer to add crunch and flavor.
- Final freeze: Return the pan to the freezer and chill for 1-2 hours until the bars are fully set and firm enough to slice.
- Slice and serve: Once set, remove the bars from the pan using the parchment paper, slice into 8 equal bars, and enjoy your low-carb Snickers bars as a delightful snack.
Notes
- Use any preferred low-carb sweetener if you don’t have Swerve.
- The coconut flour helps to absorb moisture and maintain firmness, but you can adjust slightly to get the right dough consistency.
- Keep the bars refrigerated or frozen to maintain their shape and texture.
- For extra flavor, lightly toast the chopped peanuts before adding them on top.
- These bars are best consumed within a week for optimal freshness.
