How do you melt sugar-free chocolate in the microwave?

Add the chocolate to a microwaveable bowl and microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir the chocolate until all the chocolate has melted. If the chocolate does not fully melt after about 1 minute of stirring, return the bowl to the microwave for 15 seconds before stirring again. Repeat this process until all the chocolate has melted.

What can I use if I do not have a candy mould?

You can easily make these using a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan. Just make sure that you line the loaf pan with parchment or aluminum foil, making sure to have an overhang to make removing the keto candy bars easy.

How should I store these keto protein bars?

These bars are best stored in the fridge. They can be left at room temperature if your house is not too warm. Since I live in Florida, I store mine in the fridge. You can also easily freeze these bars as well.

Can I make these Copycat sugar-free Snickers bars nut-free?

Yes. You can use butter or sunflower seed butter instead of peanut butter and pumpkin or sunflower seeds instead of peanuts.

What can I do if my protein nougat is too dry?

Different protein powders will absorb different amounts of liquid so if your nougat is too dry, simply add a tablespoon of liquid at a time(either water, almond milk or melted coconut oil), until the mixture comes together.

Do I have to use Egg White Protein powder?

No. However, unflavored egg white powder not only blends with the other ingredients but also gives these bars a beautiful chewy texture.

How do I form the bars without them sticking to my fingers?

You can either place the bowl in the fridge to allow for the "dough" to cool or, simply wet your hands and mould the bars.

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Whisk together the protein powders. Melt the butter and liquid sweetener and stir it into the protein powders. You are looking for the texture of cookie dough. Wait until the mixture has cooled and then fold the coconut flakes into the protein powder mixture. If the mixture is too sticky, place it in the fridge to firm for about 15-30 minutes. Evenly divide the protein nougat between the 12 candy moulds and press the protein nougat down firmly.
Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave for 30 seconds. Stir until all the chocolate has melted. If the chocolate has not fully melted, return it to the microwave for an additional 15 seconds. Evenly pour the chocolate birthcake protein bars and return the bars to the fridge to firm.

Notes

Nutritional information does not include chocolate coating.
* All protein powders are DIFFERENT so if your bars are too dry, simply add a tablespoon of water at a time until they come together. If your bars are too wet, add more casein protein powder OR use a little coconut flour to help bind things together
I do NOT suggest only using Whey protein powder as it contains digestive factors and your bars will not come together properly and will be VERY sticky
For a chewier bar, add 1-2 tbsp The Fittest or Collagen protein powder.
