Variants:
Vegan-Friendly: Use plant-based peanut butter and opt for a dairy-free caramel sauce and vegan dark chocolate to make this recipe completely vegan.
Nut-Free: If you have nut allergies, you can swap the peanut butter for sunflower seed butter and make sure to use a nut-free caramel alternative.
Keto-Friendly: For an even lower-carb option, use a sugar substitute like erythritol or stevia in place of the maple syrup and select a high-quality sugar-free chocolate.
FAQ:
Q: Can I make this dessert ahead of time?
A: Absolutely! In fact, these bars taste even better when they’ve had time to set and chill, so feel free to prepare them a day or two in advance.
Q: What if I don’t like peanuts?
A: No worries! You can substitute with any nut of your choice, such as almonds, cashews, or even hazelnuts. Alternatively, if you're avoiding nuts altogether, sunflower seed butter or pumpkin seed butter can make a great base.

A: Yes! Feel free to swap the sweeteners as per your preference. You can use stevia, monk fruit, or any sugar substitute that suits your dietary needs.
Q: Is this dessert kid-friendly?
A: Definitely! It’s a healthier alternative to traditional candy bars, and kids will love the delicious layers of peanut butter, caramel, and chocolate. Just be sure to adjust the sweetness based on their preference.
Q: How do I make my own sugar-free caramel sauce?
A: You can easily make your own by heating together 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk, ½ cup of a sugar substitute like erythritol, ¼ cup of butter, and a pinch of salt. Stir until thickened, and you’ve got your own sugar-free caramel sauce!
