Description

These fudgy chocolate sheet pan bars are loaded with colorful M&Ms or sugar-free candy-coated chocolates, making them a festive and delicious treat perfect for holiday parties, gifting, or dessert trays.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1/2 cup powdered sweetener
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Add-ins and Toppings

  • 1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup sugar-free M&M-style candies

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect baking temperature for even cooking of your bars.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, powdered sweetener, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk these together until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the almond flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder to the wet mixture. Stir until all ingredients are fully incorporated, creating a thick chocolate batter.
  4. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the sugar-free chocolate chips into the batter to distribute them evenly without deflating the mixture.
  5. Prepare Sheet Pan: Line a sheet pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Spread the batter evenly across the pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
  6. Add Toppings: Evenly sprinkle the sugar-free M&M-style candies on top of the spread batter for a colorful and festive appearance.
  7. Bake: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the bars are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting into 16 squares and serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute the sugar-free chocolate chips and candies with white chocolate or peppermint bark for a different flavor profile.
  • These bars are perfect for cookie exchanges or holiday dessert trays thanks to their festive look and delicious taste.
  • Store the bars refrigerated or frozen to maintain freshness and texture.
