Ingredients: For the nougat layer:

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup powdered erythritol
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond butter
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

For the caramel layer:

  • 1/2 cup sugar-free caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • Pinch of salt

For the topping:

  • 1 cup salted peanuts, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Instructions:

  1. Start by preparing the nougat layer. In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, powdered erythritol, almond butter, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until a dough-like consistency forms.
  2. Press the nougat mixture evenly into the bottom of a parchment-lined 8×8 inch baking dish. Place in the freezer to set while you prepare the caramel layer.
  3. For the caramel layer, in a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar-free caramel sauce, unsalted butter, heavy cream, and a pinch of salt. Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and well combined, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  4. Pour the caramel sauce over the chilled nougat layer, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Return the baking dish to the freezer and let it set for at least 1 hour.
  5. Once the caramel layer is set, prepare the topping. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the sugar-free chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  6. Remove the baking dish from the freezer and sprinkle the chopped salted peanuts over the caramel layer. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the peanuts.
  7. Return the dish to the freezer for another 30 minutes, or until the chocolate topping is set.
  8. Once fully set, use a sharp knife to cut the mixture into bars.
