HOW TO MAKE HEALTHY KETO SNICKERS BARS:
1. Mix the ingredients for the “creme” layer:
Add your soaked cashews, brown erythritol, coconut cream & vanilla extract into a food processor and blend until you get a smooth and chunk-free mass.
It takes a while until the cashews take on a true “creme” consistency – you should blend for at least 1-2 minutes for the desired consistency.
It’s better to blend a bit longer than to blend not long enough.
Chill in fridge while you prepare the chocolate.
2. Prepare the chocolate:
Melt the sugar-free chocolate using a double boiler.
Pour a thin layer of the chocolate into a rectangularly shaped silicone mold.
Make sure the bottom is covered but not too thickly.
We don’t want to bite into a chocolate brick.
(You should aim for a little bit less than 5mm/0,2″).
Place the silicone mold into your freezer for approx. 10 min until the chocolate has hardened.
Get the mold out of the freezer and add the creme layer on top of the chocolate.
Press the cashew creme into place with your fingers.
Add into your freezer for approx. 15 minutes.
3. Prepare “caramel” layer:
Mix all the ingredients for the caramel layer except for the whole peanuts.
Get the mold out of the freezer and pour the caramel layer on top of the creme layer.
Place the whole peanuts on top of the liquid caramel layer.
Place back into the freezer for 15 minutes or in the fridge for 30 minutes before popping the finished keto bars out of the silicone mold.
4. Optional:
Melt additional chocolate and pour it over the finished keto snickers bars for the “final look”.
This step is completely optional as the “naked” keto snickers bars taste just as good and have fewer carbs than the chocolate covered ones!
But they do look a lot more like original snickers with the chocolate coat – your choice! 🙂
5. Serve:
Enjoy your keto snickers bars naked or chocolate covered with a hot cup of tea or coffe for up to 1 week if you cover them with plastic wrap and store them in your fridge.
"Creme" Layer:
⅓ cup (1.75oz/50g) cashews, soaked, unsalted (weighed before soaking)
1 ½ tbsp (21ml) coconut cream
1 ½ tbsp (21g) brown erythritol (or 1 tbsp/15g) Golden Monk Fruit Sweetener or this 1:1 brown erythritol blend)
½ tsp sugar-free vanilla extract (optional)
"Caramel" Layer:
3 tbsp (45g) all natural peanut butter (no sugar added)
2 tsp (10ml) sticky sweetener (like this sugar-free maple syrup))
1 tbsp (15g) granulated erythritol
2 tbsp (30ml) melted butter
a handful of whole peanuts
Chocolate Layer:
1.75 oz (50g) sugar-free chocolate or chocolate with at least 85% cacoa content
+ approx. (2.6 oz/75g) additional chocolate for top coat (optional)
1. Add the ingredients for the "creme" layer (soaked cashews, coconut cream, brown erythritol & vanilla extract) into a food processor and blend for at least 1-2 minutes until you get a smooth and chunk-free, creme-like mass.
2. Chill in the fridge while you continue to the next step.
Melt the sugar-free chocolate using a double boiler.
Pour the chocolate into rectangularly shaped silicone molds.
The bottom should be fully covered but don't add too much chocolate (about 5mm/0.2" is more than enough).
3. Place the mold with the chocolate in your freezer for approx. 10 minutes until the chocolate has hardened.
Add the cashew creme into the silicone mold as well.
Press the creme into shape using your fingers.
4. Place back in your freezer for approx. 15 minutes while you prepare the "caramel" layer.
Mix all of the ingredients for the caramel layer except for the whole peanuts.
Pour the caramel layer on top of the creme layer into the silicone mold.
Place the whole peanuts on top of the caramel layer and chill again for 15 minutes in your freezer or 30 minutes in your fridge before popping the bars out of the silicone mold.
5. Optional:
Melt additional chocolate and pour it over the finished "naked" bars.
Enjoy the finished "naked" keto snickers bars or chocolate covered bars with a hot cup of tea or coffee!
6. Cover the remaining keto bars with plastic wrap and store in your fridge for up to 1 week.
Pour the chocolate into rectangularly shaped silicone molds.
The bottom should be fully covered but don't add too much chocolate (about 5mm/0.2" is more than enough).
3. Place the mold with the chocolate in your freezer for approx. 10 minutes until the chocolate has hardened.
