My Candy Bar

Candy bars are another snack to miss. Yes, there are gluten free options, but I cannot digest them.

Description

I came up with this recipe to replace the void. Its base is melted chocolate, layered with peanut butter sauce, graham cracker pieces and chopped peanuts.

The end goal is a sheet of goodness that you can chop up however you like. I store mine wrapped in the fridge as I’ve found the chocolate to turn chalky when left at room temperature. The freezer works great too. I eat these right out of the fridge or freezer but if you’re patient and let them warm up a few minutes, they are even better!

Ingredients
    Base layer of Chocolate
  • 2 cup Enjoy Life Mini Chocolate chips
    • Peanut butter sauce
  • 1/2 cup Smucker’s Natural creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup Klebnow’s pure maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • A pinch of Real Salt
    • Chocolate Top Layer
  • 3 cup Enjoy Life MIni Chocolate chips
Instructions
    Base layer of Chocolate:

  1. 2 Cups (1bag) of Enjoy Life Mini Chocolate chips

  2. Melt your chocolate in a double boiler pot. In the past I’ve used a glass bowl over some boiling water to melt but since I make these so much, I invested in a double boiler. It does make it easier.

  3. Spread the melted chocolate on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Think, thin layer and cover as much of the paper as you can without touching the edges.

  4. Allow to harden. I make space in my fridge to speed up the process.

  5. Once your base hardens, make your peanut butter sauce.

    6. Peanut butter sauce

  6. 1/2 C Smucker’s Natural creamy peanut butter

  7. 1/4 C Klebnow’s pure maple syrup

  8. 2 T extra virgin olive oil

  9. 2 t pure vanilla extract

  10. A pinch of Real Salt

  11. Mix well and microwave on high for 1 minute.

  12. Stir then pour your peanut butter sauce over your hardened chocolate, spreading evenly.

  13. Then add 1 1/4 cup of graham cracker pieces.

  14. Next, sprinkle 1 1/4 cup of chopped peanuts over your graham layer.

  15. Lightly press your graham and peanuts to help it stick to your peanut butter sauce.

    16. Chocolate Top Layer

  16. 3 cups of Enjoy Life MIni Chocolate chips

  17. Melt in double boiler or pot

  18. Spoon and spread your melted chocolate over the top of everything. Remember to think, thin layer to ensure it all gets covered.

  19. Harden in the fridge at least 2 hours.

  20. Chop into bars or pieces and store.
