Simple Snickers Bites

Cook Time 30 minutes

Servings 12

Ingredients

200g low-carb low-sugar dark chocolate, melted, at room temperature

80g peanuts, roughly chopped, toasted

Sea salt

For the peanut butter filling

125ml canned coconut cream

125ml coconut oil, melted

250g smooth peanut butter

115g raw cacao butter

125ml maple flavoured monk fruit syrup or maple syrup

pinch of sea salt

Method

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 large-sized ice cube tray and transfer to the freezer to set for a minimum of 1 hour or until completely firm.

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 to room temp.

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.

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

Good to know: For a thicker chocolate coating, re-freeze the bites after coating with the chocolate (and before sprinkling over the peanuts and salt). Leave to set completely, then coat again before applying the toppings as before.
