Low Carb Almond Fudge for Dessert or Breakfast!
Almond butter fudge bars are a delightful recipe to make with the whole family. You can enjoy them as a quick breakfast, lunch-time snack, or late night dessert – depending on the recipe!
This recipe, in particular, strikes us as more desserty than anything else. But we’ll be the first to admit we’ve eaten dessert for breakfast. When it’s low carb & sugar-free, why not? Keto desserts are full of fat, fiber and free of all the nasty junk you’d find in many sweet breakfast options at the supermarket. Plus, homemade desserts are always better (taste-wise and nutrition-wise!).
Our Almond Butter Fudge Bars have a crispy crust that pairs so well with the creamy, gooey topping. All that, cut with the crunchy chopped chocolate, makes for a super well-rounded breakfast, snack or dessert option for anyone watching their carbs.

It really only takes a few ingredients to make some magic – and that’s exactly how we’d describe these bars. Though, you can always swap out your favorite ingredients to make the recipe your own. Throw in peanut butter for a traditional snack, or go crazy and add pumpkin macadamia butter for something totally unique! Add chopped chocolate, sugar-free chocolate chips, cacao nibs or nuts of any kind.

How are these stored after slicing them? Can they be stored in the fridge or do they have to stay frozen
You can store them either way, but I think the consistency is better if they’re frozen.
Looks so goog! Is the xanthan gum essential or could it be left out….lor replaced?
Xanthan gum usually gives desserts a good bite and helps keep them together. I would say it’s not completely essential and you’ll still enjoy the recipe 🙂
Getting ready to make these….is a 9×13 pan correct? If cut into 8 pcs they would be much bigger than pictured…..or am I wrong? Can’t wait to try them
Yes, 9×13 and cut into 8 servings. Let us know how it goes!
