Addictive Sugar Free Snicker Bars
These Snickers bars are utterly INSANE. They don’t taste sugar free in ANY capacity. There is zero icky sugar free aftertaste. Only plain awesome delicious Snickers bar flavor.
I created a version of this recipe for my book Ultimate Keto Cookbook (and that version is also killer good).
So, why did I do a second version? Basically because the bars in my book are not vegan. Today’s version of the recipe is a bit more of a process to make than the ones in my cookbook, but I promise you that they are well worth the time! I also saw something of this nature on Pinterest and could not resist doing it with my own spin. The bars in the book are shaped like a candy bar - whereas these are square snickers bars. I
I can tell you that I absolutely love both recipes, as does anyone who has taste-tested them. Today’s version is a bit richer and they are not as low in carbs as the recipe from my cookbook. The bars are also paleo, while these are strictly keto. I have to admit that this version is probably my favorite.
OK. So now, let’s talk about the marshmallows. Obviously marshmallows are not usually keto in any capacity. I did create a marshmallow recipe for my new cookbook, so IF you would like to make that version and use them in this recipe, that’s totally an option. Just make sure you use right around 7 ounces. You will need to weigh them to check. If you need a handy kitchen scale, this one is my favorite.
For those of you who like to keep it simple and don’t want to take the time to make your own marshmallows, I did a bunch of research for you and finally found a brand of keto marshmallows on Amazon. They are a little pricey and to be honest, on their own outside of these bars I wouldn’t really eat them. BUT when used in these bars they are EPIC. If you check them out, you’ll find that it’s a better deal to grab the 3-pack of the marshmallows to save some $. I used exactly 2 bags to make these bars. That left me with slightly less than 7 ounces, but that was not a problem.
The other thing to keep in mind is that with these Snickers are going to be pretty rich. If you’re watching your carbs, one recipe should last you a few weeks. One little bar a day will be satiating for most and make you feel like you just ate a medium sized candy bar. They’re definitely not meant to be eaten in one sitting. Although you could totally do that if you want. I’m not one to ever judge…
A quick note on the sugar-free honey. In order to keep this recipe keto and low-carb, I use sugar-free honey in it. I have been testing out many different brands trying to find the best ones to use and so far these ones are my go to:
The Nature’s Hollow brand can cause a little bit of digestive upset for some people, but not everyone. The other three are really gentle on your stomach. All of the brands will work great in this recipe.
