Low-carb No Bake Chocolate Strawberry Bars
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate bar chopped (I used 75% chocolate from Lily's)
- 1 tbsp natural sweetener you can use honey if you don’t want to make it low-carb.
- 1 tbsp coconut oil (solid form. You’re going to melt it with the chocolate.)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups unsalted roasted peanuts
- 6 small strawberries sliced
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe bowl add peanut butter, chocolate, sweetener and coconut oil.
- Heat it at 50% power for 1 minute
- Remove from the microwave and stir.
- Return it to the microwave and repeat, stopping to stir every 15-seconds until the mixture is totally melted.
- Add vanilla extract and peanuts. Stir until the ingredients are well combined.
- Pour into an 9x9 removable bottom pan.
- Top with the strawberry slices. Try to place each strawberry slice ½ inch apart from each other.
- Refrigerate until the chocolate hardens. It is about 4 hours.
- Slice into square pieces and store in the refrigerator.
Tips
- Make sure you use smooth peanut butter and not chunky peanut butter.
- Make sure you use unsalted peanuts, as salted peanuts will make the strawberry bars too salty.
- If you're not a fan of peanuts, try using cashews and pecans.
- To store: Place the chocolate strawberry bars in the fridge in an airtight container.
- To freeze:Â Freeze in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 3 months.
