KETO SNICKERS BAR I’ve completely revised my past recipe and used allulose this time, with great results. As you can see from the photo. I feel like most of my baking endeavors are failures in the kitchen. Monday I made these KETO SNICKERS BAR and they were really good! (So good my husband keeps stealing them) Then I decided to try a keto brownie and I cannot say the same. These looked pretty good but the recipe was just not for me
Chocolate, peanut butter, and caramel. I’ve never heard anyone in my life say they don’t like that combination, even people with nut allergies! I try to be pretty honest when I am writing these recipes, if they taste horrible then they taste horrible – I won’t hide it. I think these little angels might just be the best thing I’ve managed to put together in my kitchen for my keto diet. I truly mean it – I actually told my friends to go and try this mock Snickers bar today and that’s saying a lot.
November is national peanut butter lover’s month, and the timing couldn’t be any better. I’m not usually one that keeps track of all these national days and months, they seem to just sprout out of nowhere anyway. But peanut butter is a whole different monster altogether, being that it’s a staple in most of my sweet keto recipes. I think we should just call it peanut butter day everyday, and celebrate it every hour on the hour because it’s so tasty. Who’s with me!?
I’ve had the idea of using peanut butter and caramel sauce together for some time, but it’s all been about the execution. At first I thought I might try some ice cream, but it seemed too simple. I decided that I’d sandwich the peanut butter caramel concoction between some low carb shortbread and chocolate, and never budged after that. It sounded so good that I couldn’t give into the idea of making anything else, and so the recipe was born!
My first attempt didn’t go over the best, but I played around with the ingredients until I got it just right.
We hope you enjoy this homemade candy as much as we do. And if you do give the recipe a try, let us know what you think in the comment section below.
