Are Snickers Bars Keto-Friendly?
Traditional Snickers bars you find in stores are not keto-friendly. They’re made with sugar, corn syrup, wheat flour, and other high-carb ingredients that spike blood sugar and don’t fit into a low-carb lifestyle. A regular Snickers bar contains over 30 grams of net carbs and about 29 grams of sugar—that’s more than 6 teaspoons of sugar in a single bar.
But here’s the good news: you can still enjoy the classic Snickers flavor—complete with nougat, caramel, crunchy nuts, and chocolate—using this homemade keto Snickers recipe. It’s made with naturally low-carb, gluten-free ingredients, and the taste is surprisingly close to the original.

You only need a handful of easy-to-find, low-carb pantry staples to make these homemade sugar-free Snickers bars. Each layer comes together quickly, with simple ingredients that create amazing flavor and texture.
For The Nougat Layer:
- Almond Meal – A soft, finely ground base that gives the nougat a chewy texture. You can make it at home by pulsing almonds in a food processor or buy it pre-made.
- Coconut Flour – Light and absorbent, coconut flour helps balance the almond meal and creates structure. Sift it for the smoothest texture..
- Keto Maple Syrup – You can use our recipe for a homemade version or buy it from the store.
- Milk – Use your preferred unsweetened milk substitute—almond milk, coconut milk, or macadamia milk work well.
For The Caramel Layer
- Keto Caramel – Use my recipe for keto caramel to obtain one of the best rich buttery caramel you have ever tried.
- Chopped Nuts – Classic Snickers texture comes from crunchy, roasted nuts. Peanuts are traditional, but almonds or pecans work too.
For The Chocolate Coating
- Chocolate Chips – Use unsweetened or stevia/monk fruit-sweetened chocolate chips to keep the carb count low. Melt them down to coat the bars or drizzle over the top.
How To Make Keto Snickers Bars
Once you see how quick and simple it is to make these no-bake keto Snickers bars, you’ll never go back to the store-bought kind again. With a chewy nougat base, rich caramel, crunchy nuts, and a smooth chocolate coating—this recipe comes together in just minutes with zero baking required.
Make the Nougat Base
In a mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients for the nougat layer: almond meal, coconut flour, keto maple syrup, and milk. Mix until well combined and a soft dough forms.
Press and Chill
Transfer the nougat mixture to a parchment-lined loaf pan and press it evenly into the bottom. Place in the refrigeratorto set while you prepare the caramel.
Prepare the Keto Caramel Sauce
Make the homemade keto caramel and let it rest for about 10 minutes to slightly thicken. This helps it spread easily and prevents it from being too runny.
Add the Caramel and Nuts
Pour the cooled caramel sauce over the nougat layer. Sprinkle chopped nuts evenly on top.
Place the loaf pan in the freezer for 10–15 minutes to firm up.
Make the Chocolate Coating
Add the sugar-free chocolate chips to a microwave-safe bowl and melt in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth (about 2–3 minutes total).
Slice Into Bars
Remove the set Snickers slab from the loaf pan. Using a sharp knife, cut into 16 even bars.
Coat in Chocolate
Dip each bar into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Use a fork to lift and gently tap off any excess chocolate.
Set and Store
Place the bars on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate until the chocolate is firm—about 10–15 minutes.
Storing Ideas
- Fridge: Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. They’ll stay firm and ready to enjoy anytime you need something sweet and satisfying.
- Freezer: These bars are also freezer-friendly! Place them in a freezer-safe bag or sealed container and store for up to 1 month. When you’re ready to enjoy, let them thaw at room temperature for 5–10 minutes or until slightly softened.
Can I Make This Recipe Ahead Of Time?
Sure, this recipe is great for making it ahead of time, and store it in the fridge until you are craving something sweet.
Also, to save time, you can prepare the keto caramel in advance since it requires some time to cool and thicken.
How To Cut Easily These Keto Snickers Bars?
To cut the bars easily, make sure that you are using a sharp knife.
What Should I Do If My Dough Is Too Crumbly?
