Ingredients
First step
- 60 g almonds roughly chopped
White Chocolate Nougat
- 180 g Sukrin Gold Syrup
- 20 g sugar-free white chocolate I use Vitawerx White Chocolate
- 130 g whey protein isolate
- 2 tbsps MCT oil
Caramel
- 200 g Sukrin Gold Fibre Syrup click link for only Australian supplier
- 60 g butter
- 80 g thickened cream
- 60 g almonds roughly chopped
Coating
- 140 g sugar-free white chocolate I use Vitawerx
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 4 tbsp toasted coconut flakes
Instructions
- I use a silicone large icecube tray would be perfect for 32 x 4cm mars bites.
- Preheat oven to 180℃. Lightly toast chopped almonds until lightly golden. Reserve.
NOUGAT
- Place cgold syrup and white chocolate in large pyrex bowl and microwave for 1 minute. Stir to combine and melt chocolate.
- Add whey protein isolate and MCT oil and mix until combined. With a gloved hand massage mix until it is no longer grainy.
- Spoon or break off pieces and push into moulds (will make 32 x 4cm moulds)
CARAMEL
- Place all the caramel ingredients into a large pyrex bowl. Heat on high for 3 minutes. Carefully remove from microwave. Stir mixture and return to microwave. Cook for a further 2-3 minute intervals until mixture looks very bubbly when you take out and when stir becomes thicker and more viscose. At this point you will definitely smell a caramel scent.
- Carefully spoon the hot caramel into your moulds and top with toasted almonds.
- Refrigerate until set.
- Melt chocolate and coconut oil and thinly coat each snickers bar. Place onto piece of baking paper. Allow to set before cutting into bars.
Notes
1. At this point there is no keto alternative available in Australia for Sukrin syrups products. I make these recipes with the products because I can easily replicate many recipes that previously would have been created with sugar products.
2. Chocolate: for the Milk Chocolate you can use any of the following 0 sugar varieties Sukrin Milk, Vitawerx, or Well Naturally. Each of these brands offers a low carbohydrate, no sugar at all, and low-calorie option. This recipe is suitable to be done with any kind of chocolate white, milk or dark.
3. The bars are best stored in an airtight container in a cool dry place. If refrigerated you will find that they are a lot harder, just like the real thing if stored in fridge or freezer.
4. All keto sweets should be a sometime food.
5. Please use caution when making the caramel. The instructions for the microwave are open in time as many microwaves have different wattage. In mine at 750W I find the caramel takes around 8-10 minutes. As it starts to get a little thicker you will notice if you check your spoon after 30 seconds you can gauge what "ball" or setting stage your caramel is at. For your convenience I have included a video to show you the look and feel the caramel has when it is ready to pour.
6. It should be noted that due to Sukrin labels including net carbs on the label this recipes carbs are calculated as net carbs per portion.
