What happens when you marry a Reese's peanut butter cup to a classic rice crispy…
chocolate chip peanut butter bars
Game over!
These easy chocolate chip peanut butter bars are a fan fave around here. They are an ooey gooey, chocolatey, peanut buttery good time.
Plus (and here’s the best part IMO), they are low in carbs and sugar!
These bars, like the other desserts that I post, give me my “sweet fix” without the need to go crazy and binge. I can have one square and feel satisfied.
why chocolate chip peanut butter bars
- They are low carb and less than 2 g of sugar!
- They take minutes to make, using only 1 bowl.
- These bars are phenomenal. Period.
This recipe contains some of my favorite ingredients: Anthony’s almond flour, Xylitol and Lily’s chocolate.
Note, the vanilla bean paste is not necessary, you can use vanilla extract but I didn’t have any when I took this photo.
awww yea!
I like using chocolate chunks versus chocolate chips because they melt more easily, which gives you the gooey factor!
Next, whisk together butter, sweetener and peanut butter.
Add 1 egg and 1 egg yolk.
Add dry ingredients: almond flour, salt and baking powder.
Mix until smooth.
My favorite part – add the chocolate chunks! Also, reserve a some of the chocolate chunks so you can put them on top.
Gimme, gimme
Lastly, add to a 9×9 baking dish and spread so it’s smooth. Add the reserved chocolate chunks.
Sign me up! Easy and delicious!
Yummmm….the finished product.
