Luke Hines - Low Carb Snickers Bites
by Luke Hines

Do you remember that old Snickers commercial with Betty White - the one that basically claimed that you're not you when you are hungry? Well, I think that rings pretty true and once you try these, I can assure you that you won't be hungry. In fact, I reckon you'll be the happiest possible version of yourself.

Difficulty Level

easy - medium 

INGREDIENTS

  • 200 g sugar-free dark chocolate
  • 80 g (½ cup) peanuts, roughly chopped, toasted
  • Sea salt

    Peanut Butter Filling
  • 250 ml (1 cup) canned coconut cream
  • 250 g (1 cup) smooth peanut butter

  • 115 g (½ cup) cacao butter

  • 125 ml (½ cup) Lakanto Maple Flavoured Monk Fruit Syrup

  • Pinch of sea salt

METHOD

  1. For the peanut butter filling, place all the ingredients in a saucepan over low heat and melt together, stirring constantly, until nice and runny. Remove from the heat and leave to cool for 10–15 minutes. Once slightly cooled, pour your mixture into a silicone square ice cube tray and transfer to the freezer to set for a minimum of 1 hour or until completely firm. 


  2. When you are ready to assemble the ‘Snickers’ bites, melt the chocolate in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring as you go, until thick and creamy. Set aside to cool slightly.


  3. Remove one of the frozen peanut fillings from the mould and, using tongs, a spoon or even your fingers, dip it in the melted chocolate. Place on a wire rack and quickly top with the chopped peanuts and a pinch of salt. Repeat with the remaining filling pieces, working quickly before the chocolate completely sets.


  4. Transfer to the fridge for 20 minutes to chill and firm before enjoying.


Tips:

  • These bites will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
