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 happens to be one of my favorites! Watch me make them below.
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 my 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

what mold are you referring to regarding the first layer?
These are so good, y’all. So close to a Snickers Ice Cream bar. So close. I think I’m going to try them next time with caramel extract and stevia instead of the maple syrup but I’m you could tell immediately upon mixing the maple syrup in how it changed not just the flavor, but the texture, too. I’m a little bummed to lose that, but we’ll see. Thanks so much for this recipe! Whether I end up changing it up or not, it’s definitely gonna be a go-to for me.
Hey Megha! I tried this recipe and it is awesome! Thank you!
Just wanted to share: Walden’s Caramel Syrup ( https://www.amazon.com/Walden-Farms-Caramel-bottles-Calorie/dp/B00MGCFYY2/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1511295010&sr=8-3&keywords=walden+caramel+syrup ) is a big upgrade when using in place of the sugar free maple syrup. It’s usually $4-6 dollars at most grocers, but on the amazon link it’s crazy expensive ($15).
Just thought I’d share.
Wow, this just turned out crazy good! I used natural peanut butter + pb-flavored protein powder for the base, and Walden farms pancake syrup and cunchy peanut butter for the middle layer. Definitely gonna make it again! (tomorrow maybe :D)
Can you sub heavy cream for the milk?
sure, just adjust the macros accordingly
I saw a comment on how it looks like so much work for such a small treat, but man oh man is it worth it! Those little things are awesome! I used fresh ground almond butter instead of peanut butter and I also put the peanuts on before I piped in the second layer! I also made a dozen of them so it didn’t seem like too much work at all!
Thanks you guys for all the great recipes, you make keto even better for us people with a sweet tooth.
Have you ever tried a product called Sukrin Syrup? It is a good sub for honey or syrup. If you need the maple flavoring, just add some extract maple to it to simulate maple syrup. I think it would work.
Sukrin is great! We love it
isn’t Sukrin Syrup made of Isomalto-Oligosaccharide? it’s not very keto-friendly as far as I know :/ I used it before but I stopped it since going keto.
Just made these and holy smokes they tasted just like snickers ice cream. I subbed out protein powder for collagen peptides. This recipe is a must!!
What can I use in place of the unflavored protein powder?
Hi. My name is Annette and I am a lover of Keto. I would luv to make this recipe but have no idea what a BOMB is. Don’t forget I am an Aussie!!
Oh, no worries Annette! A ‘bomb’ just means a lot of flavor/fat/whatever packed into a little treat! Like a real bomb (explosion from a small device)! Enjoy!
What mold did you use?? And where did you get it??? Thanks
A mini muffin mold from Amazon! We have some links on our ‘items we love’ section
Could you use Liquid Stevia and vanilla instead of maple syrup? or does the maple syrup replicate something in the caramel?
It’s the caramel 🙂 You’re free to do that as well!
Hey guys! Great recipe. think I’ve got the ingredient that will top your sugar free pancake syrup. It’s Walden Farms Caramel syrup: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003QSORYS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_-4T7zbXTT0Q4V
This recipe is just so bomb. I’m obsessed. My daughter actually asked if she could have one instead of oreos for a treat. I’m going to Walmart today to buy some more chocolate to make another batch. I made it with vanilla protein powder (because that’s what I had) and I didn’t add stevia to that step. They were plenty sweet, and I think might have been too sweet with the already sweetened protein powder AND liquid stevia. I also used the sugar free maple syrup and it was a nice texture and flavor. Anyway. I loved this recipe. I’m making a triple batch this afternoon to keep in the freezer through my daughter’s birthday and Halloween. HA! If they last until Halloween!
Thanks so much for this! Do the macros include the optional peanuts?
You’ll have to add that into your macros, Cathleen 🙂
This was amazing and easy to make. ?
I can’t wait to try these!!
Do you think Vanilla flavored protein powder would work?
Absolutely!
Thanks so much for this! I’ve missed Snickers ice cream bars. Would vanilla protein powder work?
Absolutely!
Do you think unflavored collagen peptides or perhaps unflavored gelatin would work in place of the unflavored protein powder? These look amazing, but I want to save the expense of the unflavored protein powder because that is not something I use often.
I was gonna ask the same thing!
Same! I dont use protein powder often, so I do not keep it on hand!
I used collagen peptides and it worked perfectly!
I, too, used collagen peptides and it came out perfect! These are SO yummy!
