# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper. In a bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups almond flour, 1/2 cup granulated erythritol-monk fruit blend sweetener, 1/4 tsp xanthan gum, and 1/4 tsp sea salt. Stir in 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted, until a dough forms. Press evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden. Let cool completely for your Decadent Low Carb Millionaire Bars Recipe.
02 -
In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup unsalted butter, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/2 cup granulated erythritol-monk fruit blend sweetener, 2 tbsp sugar-free maple syrup, and a pinch of sea salt. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
03 -
Reduce heat to low and simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and turns a light golden brown. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 tsp vanilla extract. Pour the warm caramel over the cooled shortbread base. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
04 -
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups sugar-free dark chocolate chips and 1 tbsp coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until completely smooth and melted. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate for your Decadent Low Carb Millionaire Bars Recipe.
05 -
Pour the melted chocolate mixture evenly over the set caramel layer. Gently spread to cover the entire surface. Tap the pan lightly on the counter to release any air bubbles and ensure a smooth, professional finish.
06 -
Refrigerate the bars for at least 2-3 hours, or until the chocolate layer is completely firm. This crucial step ensures the layers are well-set before cutting, making for perfect Decadent Low Carb Millionaire Bars Recipe slices.
07 -
Once fully chilled, lift the bars from the pan using the parchment paper. Place on a cutting board. Using a sharp, warm knife, cut into 16 squares. Wipe the knife clean between cuts for neat edges, then serve and enjoy!
# Notes:
01 -
For cleaner cuts, warm your knife under hot water and wipe dry before each slice. This helps prevent the chocolate from cracking.
02 -
Store these Decadent Low Carb Millionaire Bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days. They also freeze well for up to 1 month.
03 -
If your caramel doesn't seem to thicken enough, continue simmering for a few more minutes, but watch carefully to prevent burning. A candy thermometer can help; aim for 220-230°F.
04 -
Feel free to sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top of the chocolate layer before it sets for an extra gourmet touch and to enhance the flavors.
