Introduction to Ice Cream Bites
Whether or not Halloween is just around the corner, these Ice Cream Bites are a great way to enjoy a treat and up your fats for the day! Snickers was always my favorite candy to get when I was out trick or treating. There was something about biting into a chocolate coating and hitting caramel, peanuts, and nougat all at once that really hit the spot for me! As we get older, many of us try to re-live incredible childhood memories, and snickers happen to be one of my favorites!
The Best Keto Fat Bombs
In my opinion, snickers is the best candy, so naturally, I would think these are the best fat bombs! However, opinions aside, what makes these the best is how on point the taste is – they perfectly replicate snickers ice cream bars, and I know everyone has tried those! We’ve simulated it by creating three separate layers in the bites – a chocolate layer, a caramel and nut layer, and a nougat layer. I assure you, despite it sounding a bit complicated to make, it really isn’t, and they are so worth it in the end!
Low Carb Candy For Halloween
Fall time is my favorite time of year, and in that season lands one of the best holidays, Halloween! There is no other perfect way to celebrate than to make these low-carb ice cream bites that taste exactly like snickers ice cream bars! There are so many candies out there, and a lot more easier ones to re-make into a low-carb version, but I didn’t want to give you something you could easily make at home yourself. For example, do you love Reeses’ cups? Well, grab some low-carb or sugar-free chocolate, your favorite natural peanut butter, and maybe some liquid stevia, and you’ve got the ingredients for one! This recipe took a bit of testing and a lot of critique from Matt, but we nailed it, and you’ll want to try these out at home!
Snickers Ice Cream Bites
I have many friends who aren’t big fans of Halloween. The whole need to dress up just brings on more stress than anything, and I nor my friends have ever been fans of being a sexy anything. I get it, but that never stopped me from making it all about the candy! These snickers ice cream bites allow me to not only re-live my favorite days of shoving candy into my mouth but also open the door to my indulging in my favorite candy again, today. Whether or not you’re a fan of snickers, I can almost guarantee you will love these ice cream bites! Tip: If you’re not a fan of using the sugar-free maple syrup, and we totally understand that, you can use 15 drops liquid stevia and 1/2 tsp maple extract to replicate the flavor and sweetness!
