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 Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the unsweetened peanut butter, coconut flour, and sweetener. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated and form a consistent mixture.
- 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 flat and compact base layer.
- Freeze the Base: Place the loaf pan in the freezer for 15-20 minutes to allow the base layer to firmly set.
- Melt the Chocolate Topping: In a separate bowl, melt the sugar-free chocolate chips along with the coconut oil, stirring continuously until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. Add vanilla extract and mix well.
- Assemble the Bars: Remove the loaf pan from the freezer and pour the melted chocolate mixture evenly over the set peanut butter base.
- Add Peanuts: Sprinkle the chopped salted peanuts evenly on top of the melted chocolate layer to add a crunchy texture.
- Final Freeze: Return the loaf pan to the freezer and allow the bars to set for 1-2 hours, or until the chocolate topping is firm.
- Slice and Serve: Once fully set, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper. Slice into 8 bars and enjoy your low-carb Snickers treat!
Notes
- For best results, use a sugar-free sweetener like Swerve to keep the bars low-carb.
- You can substitute salted peanuts with unsalted if you prefer less salt.
- Store the bars in the freezer to keep them firm and fresh.
- If coconut oil is solid at room temperature, warm slightly to melt before mixing with chocolate chips.
- Adjust the sweetener quantity to taste, especially if using sweeter or less sweet options.
