Description
Made with plant-based butter and Swerve®, these easy and quick no-bake peanut butter bars fit right into the keto diet.
Ingredients
•
1/2 cup plant based butter (such as Country Crock® Plant Butter)
•
1 cup erythritol confectioners' sweetener (such as Swerve®)
•
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
•
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
•
1 cup dark chocolate chips (such as Lily's®)
•
2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
Directions
1
Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper, extending the ends over the sides of the pan.
2
Microwave plant based butter for 45 seconds or until melted. Add confectioners' sugar, graham cracker crumbs, and 1/2 cup peanut butter; mix well. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan.
3
Microwave chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons peanut butter for 45 seconds. Stir and continue to microwave at 20 second intervals until melted. Pour over graham cracker-peanut butter mixture and spread with an offset spatula until smooth.
4
Refrigerate until semi-hardened, about 30 minutes. Score chocolate layer with a knife so that chocolate layer will not crack when cutting into bars. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 more minutes.
