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

CONGRATS on the newest family member!!!??? I’m so grateful for your & Matt’s hard work for our Keto programs. We appreciate you both!!
I don’t have bakers chocolate .. Could I use Lily’s?
I don’t like the taste of stevia. What else can I use?
I use monk fruit sweetener and have added to the chocolate topping flavored oils including peppermint, orange and tangerine
I just made these, since I did’t have sugar free maple I browned the butter slightly in the caramel layer and added a touch of vanilla extract. They are currently chilling in the freezer. But a lick to the spoon of each layer, tells me I will love these. With my slightly smaller molds, I ended up with 14 bombs!
With the nutrition information, is 1 serving just one bite? Or is it the whole batch is 1 serving = 1.4g net carbs? Because I could totally eat the whole thing in one sitting lol!
The nutrition info is for one bite unfortunately
OMG! I made these little pieces of heaven tonight and had to exercise major self control to stop myself from eating the whole thing!!
Great recipe, keep up the great work, love watching your videos!!
Hi. Can I use powdered Stevia instead of liquid?
Yep!
Hi. Can I use powdered Stevia instead of liquid?
Yep!
I do not have or like stevia drops so can I use a powdered blend of monk fruit and erythritol that I do have instead?
Yep!
Hello! Could I leave out the protein powder all together? I don’t have any and I’m pretty new to Keto so I didn’t want to just run out and buy some just for this recipe.
You could try omitting it! Let us know how it goes.
These were freaking delicious! I had to substitute a few ingredients. I used isopure cookies and cream protein powder since I had it on hand. And I didn’t have SF maple syrup so I just added some almond extract and it still tasted great. Actually tastes Like the Real thing. You Guys Are Awesome!!!?
Just a suggestion/question: Could you guys add your name and/or a url to the bottom of your recipes? I like to print mine off and add them to a 3-ring binder and it would be helpful to know which recipes are yours.
Should these be stored in the freezer? I just made them for the first time — they’re in the freezer now. I was making them while working on dinner, and I think I forgot to add the stevia to the chocolate layer. Whoops! 🙂
These are absolutely the BEST! I have a silicone pan with 30 cavities and this recipe makes 22!
I used eight silicone cupcake molds that I had on hand, I had to increase the chocolate to cover the nuts but not by much and the macros are still fantastic. The flavor is excellent and it’s nice to have a “guilty” pleasure a couple days a week. Thanks!!
Glad you liked it!
What do you use for the fat bomb molds
Any mini cupcake mold will work. You can even search “fat bomb mold” on amazon.
