These low carb and Keto Snickers Brownies are the perfect mix of chocolate, caramel and peanuts. And each brownie has just 2g net carbs.
"Snickers is bigger. Snickers is bigger. Snickers is bigger 'cause they put more in!" -Snickers Bar commercial from the late 1980's
I've been humming that old "Snickers is Bigger" jingle all morning as I baked up these Keto Snickers Brownies. And because the Internet is a wondrous place, I was able to find the commercial online. (video below) Now I could be wrong, but I believe the woman in the commercial is wearing an actual banana clip. That's how you know that it is legit.
But I'm guessing you are here for the low carb and Keto Snickers brownies.
And who can blame you? These brownies are truly spectacular. They've got a rich fudgy brownie base with caramel and chocolate drizzled on top. They've also got a light sprinkling of peanuts, (but you can replace them with almonds if you doing doing strict Keto).
It took me a couple tries to get the brownie layer just right.
I ended up basing this recipe on a great brownie that I found on the gnom-gnom blog. It's on the fugdy end of the brownie spectrum. (On one side of the spectrum is total fudge and on the other end is chocolate cake.) I'd guess that these brownies have a fudge factor of about 8 on a scale of 1-10.
All of which is to say: this is a very concentrated and flavorful brownie.
I've set the serving size to 2 x 2 inches which comes out to 2g net carbs per brownie. You might want to cut them in half though, because they are so rich. But of course, you can always make them bigger than that too. Because brownies are bigger, brownies are bigger...
Brownies are bigger when you put more in!

This looks great, but I'm out of peanuts. I do have pine nuts, almonds and walnuts though. Which one is the best substitution?

All three would be good choices for this recipe, but I'd go with walnuts because they are the lowest in carbs of the three that you have. Almonds are the most like peanuts though. I don't think you can really go wrong with any of them.
