Keto Snickers Bars

Keto Snickers Bars combine almond flour nougat, a butter and cream caramel layer studded with peanuts, and a rich chocolate coating made from sugar-free chocolate. The bars are firm enough to slice after chilling and offer a low-carb, satisfying treat with a combination of creamy, chewy, and crunchy textures. They work well as a rich dessert or snack for keto diets, balancing sweetness and nuttiness without traditional sugar.

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
    Cup of Yum
  1. 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.
  2. Press the mix into the container and level with the back of a spoon.
Caramel Layer
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Pour the caramel over the almond nougat layer. Scatter over the peanuts and press them into the caramel.
  4. 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
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
