Keto Snickers Bars

Healthy and tasty foods are not the opposite; you just need to know what you’re doing. That’s how we came up with keto version of Snickers — low carb, sugar-free and addictively delicious.

There’s something extraordinary about the combination of chocolate, caramel and peanuts. It doesn’t sound right, but it works, and it’s fabulous!

I must admit there are a few challenges behind today’s recipe. For starters, caramel is supposed to be just burned sugar, so we’ll have to make our own keto caramel sauce. The rest is easy. Read on and learn to make your own keto Snickers bar.

Equipment Needed

To melt your chocolate chips and assemble the chocolate layer, you’ll need a microwave-safe mixing bowl. You can also melt the chocolate the old-fashioned way in a double boiler or bain-marie, but it makes no significant difference, and it’s significantly harder.

You’ll also need a small, square baking dish to assemble your snicker bars.

The caramel comes together in a small saucepan, and you might also need a few mixing bowls and a rubber spatula to fold all the ingredients together.

I’m pretty sure you already have all you need in hand. Even the knife you’ll need to cut the bars in the desired shape, so don’t worry. It might look complicated, but this recipe is quite easy.

Substitutions and Variations

Some people say you shouldn’t mess with classics like the snickers bar, but I say if you’re making them, then you’re in charge, and that means there are many ways to tweak the recipe for new, exciting results!

Let’s start by playing around with different types of chocolate. Have you ever tried a white chocolate snickers bar? Well, now you can!

Then there’s the nut butter, which can be the traditional peanut butter but can also be something as exciting as pistachio butter or Brazil nut butter. The type of nut butter used changes the bar’s flavor significantly, but always in a good way.

The final substitution is the topping. It’s a good idea to match the nut butter used with the right crushed nuts. Almond butter with sliced almonds and walnut butter with crushed walnuts.
