Ingredients for this Easy Chewy Caramel Keto Candy Bar Recipe
Making the perfect chewy caramel for keto candy bars can be tricky because sugar-free sweeteners don’t behave exactly like sugar—especially erythritol, which creates a gritty texture and hardens when cooled.
After a few failed attempts (and more butter than we’d like to admit), we know that allulose is the best ingredient for smooth, chewy perfection. Save yourself the trial and error—follow this list for guaranteed caramel bliss!

Cooking Instructions
Caramel Layer
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Chocolate Coating
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the sugar-free chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth.
- Add coconut oil if you prefer a thinner coating.
- Once the caramel layer is firm, pour the melted chocolate over it and spread evenly.
- Sprinkle with chopped nuts or sea salt flakes if desired.
- Return the dish to the fridge to set for another 30 minutes, cut into bars with a sharp knife, and enjoy.
Chef's pro tip
For a perfectly smooth and glossy chocolate coating, melt the chips slowly and avoid overheating. If the chocolate feels too thick, stir in a small amount of coconut oil to thin it out without sacrificing texture.
