Slimming Snickers
I have a sweet tooth! I love all things chocolate and one of my absolute favorite candy bars is a snickers bar. So, finding an alternative was a must! Enjoy with any S meal on THM, as well as Keto friendly! Let’s get slim ladies!
Because I don’t do fluff here is the recipe!
Bottom Layer:
- ¾ cup peanuts (make sure they are just peanuts, or salt added but nothing else)
- ½ stick of butter
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup Pyure
- 1 teaspoon Watkins Caramel extract
Top layer:
HOW TO:
- Spray square pan with coconut oil
- Place peanuts at the bottom of the square pan
- Combine all other top layer ingredients in saucepan over low to medium heat.
- Slowly stir mixing everything together. It will thicken, and start to darken in color. Get it to a full bubbling and the color you want for the caramel ( it took me a good 5 minutes)
- Remove from heat and pour over peanuts
- Place in freezer for 10 minutes, don’t start chocolate until the 10 minutes is up. You want to caramel to fully solidified before adding the top layer to it or it will all mix together. Taste is fine, but doesn’t look as pretty.
- Slowly melt chocolate with butter, be careful not to burn the chocolate. It will melt fast. Pour over the solidified top layer.
- Pop back in the freezer until chocolate I hardened. I cut mine to make 12 bars, then it was so sweet I cut each one to be smaller making 24 bars.
You can store these in a closed container in the fridge. They don’t last a week in my house. 😉 Happy Slimming!
