six steps to making keto no bake peanut butter bars

Step 1: Make the Peanut Butter Base

In a medium bowl using an electric hand mixer, whip together Swerve Confectioners, butter, and coconut flour on medium-high for 5-6 minutes until light and fluffy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. (Photo 1)

Add peanut butter and mix until well incorporated. (Photo 2)

TIP: To make the mixture combine easier, you can melt the peanut butter in the microwave on high for 10-15 seconds.

Pour mixture into an 8″ x 8″ pan lined with non-stick aluminum foil. (Photo 3)

Refrigerate for two hours.

Step 2: Make the Chocolate Topping

Add butter and chocolate chips to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high in 10-second bursts, stirring in between, until fully melted. Let the mixture melt naturally as much as possible and do not overcook. (Photo 4)

Pour onto base and refrigerate for another two hours. (Photo 5)

Remove from fridge and use a knife warmed slightly in hot water to cut into 16 pieces. (Photo 6)
