INGREDIENTS

3 pack Atkins Endulge Peanut Butter Candies
0 3/4 cup almond flour, super finely ground, gluten free King Arthur Flour
2 Tbsp coconut flour, finely ground, organic King Arthur Flour
0 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter, natural Smucker's
0 1/3 cup truvia, sweet completed granulated sweetener
0 1/4 tsp table salt USDA
1 tsp vanilla extract USDA
4 piece Atkins Endulge Peanut Butter Cups
2 Tbsp heavy whipping cream USDA
0 1/4 tsp xanthan gum Bob's Red Mill
2 Tbsp butter, unsalted USDA

DIRECTIONS

Heat oven to 325°F. Prepare a 7 ½ by 6-inch (1 ¼ quart) baking dish with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine granulated sweetener, room temperature peanut butter, melted butter, heavy cream, vanilla extract and salt until well combined and no clumps of sweetener remain. Add almond flour, coconut flour and xanthan gum, mixing until peanut butter and flour are completely incorporated and a smooth batter forms. Scrape about half of the batter into the prepared baking dish, pressing into an even layer. Top evenly with Atkins Endulge Peanut Butter Candies and diced Atkins Endulge Peanut Butter Cups. Crumble remaining peanut butter dough evenly over the top and gently press the dough down, creating an even top layer.
Bake for 15 minutes, rotate and bake another 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown on top. Watch carefully in the last 5 minutes to ensure it does not burn.
Allow to cool in the baking pan for 20 minutes, remove from the pan to cool completely, another 45 minutes, before cutting into 12 even pieces. These cookie bars will be crumbly until completely cooled. One piece is one serving.

Cooking Tip

These cookie bars are the perfect midway point between crust and cookie, with lots of delicious low carb candy to make these monster cookie bars monsters! We do have a few tips for success with this recipe. First, it is essential to press the dough into the pan for this recipe so the cookie bars hold their shape and keep together when cut. Make sure to keep an eye on the edges of the pan in the last 5 minutes of baking, as the flours used in this recipe burn more easily than all-purpose flour. Lastly, allow the cookie bars to cool completely before cutting and serving as they are quite crumbly until well cooled.
