I have made this recipe over 3 times in the last couple of months because Mr. Grumble's loves them so much.  The ingredient list is really short and the same glass measuring cup can be used for all three layers.  Only 2 dishes and very few ingredients make these bars are my "go to" for a quick, sugar free, gluten free, keto treat!

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 15 bites 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale

Nougat Layer:

  • 1/2 cup nut butter (or seed butter)
  • 24g (1/4 cup) coconut flour
  • 1/4 cup sticky sweetener (I used VitaFiber but honey or Yacon syrup will work)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Caramel Layer:

  • 66 g (1/4 cup) cup nut butter (or seed butter)
  • 1/4 cup sweetener (I used Lakanto Maple syrup but any maple syrup or honey will work)
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1/8 tsp caramel extract

Peanut Layer:

  • 1 - 2 oz peanuts

Chocolate Coating:

  • 2 oz (1/4 cup) chocolate (bar or chips - I used Lily's)
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil (or cream)

 

 

Instructions

  1. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper. 
  2. In a glass measuring cup, combine nougat ingredients (except for the coconut flour) and microwave on high for 15  seconds or until melted.  Stir in the coconut flour and press into loaf pan. 
  3. Gently press the nuts into the mixture.
  4. Prepare caramel layer but combining all the ingredients in the same glass measuring cup, heat in microwave for 15 seconds or until melted.  Let cool slightly and pour over nougat and peanuts.
  5. Place loaf pan in the fridge for 15 minutes.
  6. Lastly, prepare chocolate layer by breaking chocolate into pieces.  Place in glass measuring cup and add oil.  Microwave for 15 seconds or until fully melted.  Remove loaf pan from fridge and pour chocolate over entire surface.
  7. Place bars in fridge and allow to harden (about 3 hours)
  8. Cut into 15 pieces.  Store bars in fridge or freezer.

Notes

  • Nutritional value is based on using sugar free items in recipe.
  • These bars can easily be made in ice cube trays following the same recipe except allow bars to harden for 3 hours before trying to remove them from ice cube tray to cover with chocolate.
  • Taste your mixture along the way and either increase or decrease the amount of sweetener as all nut and seed butters have different levels of sweeteness.
  • Make sure to keep these bars in the fridge or freezer.
