Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Bars






     Raise your hand if the Crockpot is your favorite kitchen accessory!?  Shout out to the slow cookers of the world, they make our lives better in countless ways, oh how I love you.  BUT, did you know, they are not just for meat!?  They are for all times of the day and night, and that includes dessert.  Yes, you heard it right.  I have made cakes, breakfasts, dinners and now dessert.  Each of these (approximate) 9 Bars are only 178 calories, 23g carbs, 4g fiber, 15g sugar alcohol, 4g net carbs, 6.1g protein and 14.5g fat.  I use the term "approximate" because I had to trim the round edges to make perfect squares...the remnants may or may not have been disposed of thru my esophagus.  But who is counting...not me!  ;)

Ingredients for approximately 9 servings~
4 Tablespoons Butter, softened to room temperature
1/2 cup Lakanto Monk Fruit~use code Paige20 at checkout for discount
2 Extra Large Eggs, room temperature
1 cup Chocolate Peanut Butter Powder ( I use Betterbody Foods, my fave)
1/4 cup Lily's stevia sweetened Dark Chocolate Chips
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
Dash Cinnamon
Dash Vanilla

1 Tablespoon/60 Lily's stevia sweetened Dark Chocolate Chips

     Use mixer to blend first set of ingredients together til fully incorporated, pour into parchment paper lined Crockpot, and bake on low for 2.5-3 hours with the lid.  Remove from heat and cool on wire rack (while still in pot) for another 2-3 hours. Meanwhile, beat second set of ingredients til well blended, gently remove Bars from pot, trim rounded edges, spread on Frosting, sprinkle with Chips.  Cut and serve.  Enjoy  :)
