HOMEMADE REESE'S BARS





HOMEMADE REESE’S BARS

If you are a fan of this confection, you’ll love the low-carb version as well. So tasty and a very substantial, satisfying treat.  Lovely peanut buttery base with a substantial, thick chocolate topping.  

The sweetener tables for all the most common scenarios are in my cookbooks for your convenience.  For example, ¾ cup sugar sweetness (not ¾ cup liquid) using my bottle of sucralose from the EZ-Sweetz brand (whether the smaller one of 0.5 oz or the bigger yellow bottle of 2 oz – Zero carbs) would be 18 or 36 drops respectively.  Here is an article and video about the sweeteners. Part 1.  There is another article and video here: Part 2.



Peanut Buttery Base:
11/4 cups almond flour (300 mL)
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter (125 mL)
Liquid sweetener (sucralose or stevia) to equal 3/4 cup (175 mL)
  sugar
6 tbsp butter, melted (90 mL)
1/4 cup powdered sweetener of choice, OR (60 mL)
  6 coffee sweetener packets
Chocolate Topping:
  (2/3 cup; 150 mL)
2 oz cocoa butter (60 g)
Liquid sweetener (sucralose or stevia) to equal 1/2 cup sugar (125 mL)
2 tbsp whipping cream (30 mL)
2 tbsp whole milk powder, optional (30 mL)

Peanut Buttery Base:  In medium bowl, place almond flour.  In small bowl, nuke peanut butter until soft and stir in liquid sweetener, butter and powdered sweetener, OR coffee sweetener.  Stir into almond flour and spread evenly in 8-inch (20 cm) square glass baking dish.  Place in freezer and make the chocolate topping.
