Keto Snickers Bars
Description
The Keto Snickers Bars recipe consists of three main components: a nougat base made from almond flour, heavy cream, a sweetener substitute, and vanilla; a caramel layer prepared by browning butter and sweetener before adding cream and vanilla and then cooking to a thick golden syrup; and a chocolate coating of melted sugar-free chocolate and coconut oil. Peanuts pressed into the caramel add crunch and saltiness. The bars are assembled by layering the nougat and caramel with peanuts, freezing, slicing, and coating with chocolate. The freezing step sets the bars for easy slicing. The recipe emphasizes careful caramel cooking and the benefit of allulose as a sweetener for clear caramel. The finished bars are dense and filling, with balanced flavors of nuts, caramel, and dark chocolate. They store well refrigerated or frozen due to their fat content and keep their texture well from freezer to serving.
The bars are cut into six large pieces but can be halved for smaller portions. The chocolate coating adds a glossy finish and a firm bite. This recipe offers a sugar-free alternative inspired by a popular candy bar, ideal for ketogenic or low-carb diets.
Storage instructions specify refrigeration up to two weeks or freezing for up to three months. The caramel layer’s appearance can vary depending on the sweetener, with allulose recommended for the clearest result. Use sugar-free or very dark chocolate for coating, with optional sweetener added if using unsweetened chocolate.
Ingredients
Nougat Layer
- 1 cup almond flour or ground almonds, 100g
- ½ cup heavy cream 120ml, aka double cream
- 2-3 tablespoon Bocha Sweet or allulose
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Caramel Layer
- 4 tbsp butter 56g, salted
- ½ cup heavy cream 120ml, aka double cream
- 3 tablespoon Bocha Sweet or allulose
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup peanuts 36g
Chocolate Coating
- ½ cup plus 1 tbsp chocolate chips or 90% dark chocolate, 100g / 3.5oz, sugar free
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or ½ tablespoon cream
Instructions
Nougat layer
- Line a small container with parchment paper. In a bowl, stir together the healthy "nougat" ingredients: almond flour, sweetener of your choice, heavy cream and vanilla extract.
- Press the mix into the container and level with the back of a spoon.
Caramel Layer
- Melt butter in a medium saucepan or a frying pan. Add the sweetener and cook over a medium heat for 3-4 minutes until the sweetener is melted and the butter is browned. Stir continuously so the butter does not burn.
- Add the cream and vanilla. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the caramel for about 8 minutes or until the mix reduces and takes on a golden caramel colour. The consistency should be thick and glossy. Again, stir regularly.
- Pour the caramel over the almond nougat layer. Scatter over the peanuts and press them into the caramel.
- Put the snickers bars into the freezer for 40-50 minutes. Then, slice into bars and return to the freezer while you prepare the chocolate.
Chocolate Coating
- Melt the chocolate and the coconut oil in a Bain-marie (water bath) or in the microwave (2 x 30 second bursts, followed by 10 second bursts until almost, but not completely melted). Stir and wait for the chocolate to cool slightly.
- Dip each bar into the chocolate until fully coated. Refrigerate until the chocolate has hardened.
Notes
- Cut bars smaller if desired; half bars are a satisfying portion due to their richness.
- Use allulose as a sweetener in the caramel for a clear golden color without crystallization.
- Choose sugar-free or 90% dark chocolate chips for coating; alternatively, sweeten 100% chocolate to taste.
- Store bars in the fridge up to two weeks or freeze up to three months. Serve chilled or straight from the freezer.
