one.
my mom made the most awesome dairy free, soy free, low carb "almost goodbars" that have been a hit in our house! :) the original recipe is here...but she added the carob chip chocolate topping and mini-muffin cups. :)
Mock "PayDay" Peanut Treats
Inspired by this recipe by "Blenders"
Makes 6 bars
Ingredients:
1/4 cup peanut butter (no-stir type preferred)
2 tablespoons non-hydrogenated shortening, unsalted butter, or coconut oil
2 teaspoons honey
1 tablespoon almond cream
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
sugar-free sweetener, to taste (I use NuNaturals stevia)
pinch of sea salt
1/2 cup dry roasted peanuts
1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum (optional)
1 cp. carob chips melted
Preparation:
Add peanut butter, honey, and butter to a microwave safe dish. Microwave on high for one minute. Remove and immediately whisk in vanilla extract and heavy cream or coconut milk. Stir in sweetener, xanthan gum (if using), and pinch of salt. Taste and adjust if necessary. Fold in peanuts and drop in globs mini muffin cups. Drizzle melted carob chips on top. Chill in freezer until firm, then transfer to refrigerator.
And, second! I'm loving this local harvest site...not only do they tell you were local organic harvest besides farmers markets are, there are a ton of blogs on people eating healthier and locally that are inspiring...definitely worth a check out!
these look even better than the real deal. i have always been one to enjoy food based on the presentation and am learning that my kids are the same way! it MUST taste good if it comes out of a cute jar like that with a 'almost like' Mr Goodbar sticker on it right?!!
