Caramel is such a widely used ingredient, especially in storebought candy bars. Those Homemade Paydayz I made the other day were sooo freakin delicious, we kind of gobbled them up in less than 24 hours… yes, all 12 Paydays. Who cares though, they were only 60 calories each 😉
I made a list of all the candies I wanted to try with caramel in them… Snickers, Milky Ways, Turtles, Take 5s… mmmm, Take 5s sound pretty good right about now! So I quickly melted some chocolate, chopped up some pretzels and got my chocolate molds out.
These Healthy Homemade Take 5 Candy Bars are TO. DIE. FOR!
They are crunchy, chewy, rich, decadent, sweet and satisfying. I would keep going, but I figured you would rather just get to the recipe.
Healthy Homemade Take 5 Candy Bars
- 2.5 oz Dark Chocolate (melted)
- ¼ cup Roasted Peanuts
- 5 Homemade Caramels
- 2 tbs Natural Peanut Butter
- ¼ cup Whole Grain Pretzels (whole wheat, gluten free, etc.)
-
Spread some of the melted chocolate into 5 cavities of this Chocolate Bar Mold.
-
Sprinkle each cavity with peanuts and refrigerate until firm.
-
Press a caramel into each cavity, then spread the peanut butter over the caramels.
-
Press the pretzels into the peanut butter. Spoon the remaining melted chocolate over the pretzels, tap the tray on the counter to level it out, and refrigerate until firm. Serve and enjoy!
Abbbbsolutely amazing stuff right here! You would never guess that these Healthy Homemade Take 5 Candy Bars are good for you.
