Easter recipes: Keto Snickers Bars (GF/Keto/Vegan option)

A keto twist on the classic snickers bar, Chantal Organics cacao & coconut keto granola forms the “biscuit base which is topped with a creamy peanut butter “nougat” and covered in a layer of sugar-free chocolate.

Ingredients:

Base:

• 2 cups (200g) Chantal Organics cacao & coconut keto granola
• ½ cup (180g) keto (sugar-free) chocolate, melted

Topping:

• ½ cup (150g) Chantal Organics peanut butter
• 1 can Chantal Organics coconut cream (thick part only)
• ¼ cup (55g) Chantal Organics coconut oil, melted
• 90g keto (sugar-free) chocolate

To coat:

• 250g milk keto (sugar-free) chocolate
• 1 Tbsp Chantal Organics coconut oil, melted (or MCT oil)

50g white or dark keto (sugar-free) chocolate extra for decorating

Method:

1. Place the can of coconut cream in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight. This separates the thick creamy part from the liquid.
2. Line a 20 cm square brownie pan with non-stick baking paper.
3. To make the base, place granola and melted chocolate in a food processor and blend until resembles biscuit crumbs.
4. Pour the base mix into the prepared pan, spread evenly and press down well. Place base in freezer to set while you make the topping.
5. Combine all the topping ingredients in a food processor or blender, and blend until smooth.
6. Pour topping onto base and return to freezer to set. When almost solid, removed from freezer and cut into bars using a hot sharp knife. 
7. Place the bars on a wire rack set over a piece of non-stick paper or silicone mat – this is so you can reuse any chocolate that drips off.
8. Melt the coating chocolate and stir in melted coconut oil until well combined.
9. Pour the melted chocolate slowly over each bar, ensuring they’re fully coated before moving to the next. Any chocolate that runs off can be scooped up and reused if needed. Return bars to the fridge or freezer to set.
10. Melt the extra 50g chocolate (ideally a different colour to the coating) and drizzle over top of each bar as decoration.
11. Store your keto snickers bars in the fridge for up to 5 days or freezer for 1 month.
