These Low Sodium Salted Peanut Butter Bars taste like an indulgent dessert but are totally sugar-free, dairy free, gluten free and low carb! Made in partnership with Salt For Life.

Let’s talk about peanut butter and chocolate. Is there a better combo? I am not sure it’s possible! Maybe salted peanut butter and chocolate. That is where these Low Sodium Salted Peanut Butter Bars come in.

YEP. I said low sodium and salted peanut butter in the very same sentence.

First, let’s address how in the world this is even possible. A few weeks ago, Salt For Life reached out to me to try their lower sodium natural salt product. I was immediately intrigued as not only does my Mom have high blood pressure and REALLY need to watch her salt intake but a good friend of ours has a very serious sodium sensitivity and had to recently overhaul his entire diet.

I know this impacts a lot of you because I get the emails, messages, and comments all the time about salt/sodium in certain recipes and how to reduce the amount without losing flavor.

Salt For Life is legit and the answer. It’s NON-GMO, made from real ingredients and cooks like salt.

I tested it out in a bunch of savory recipes and partnered with Salt For Life to bring you these ridiculous Low Sodium Salted Peanut Butter Bars. Did I mention that these bars are also Low Carb, Sugar-Free, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, and Vegan? I know. There officially is too much of a good thing going on here!!

These are best chilled so I like to keep them stored in the fridge. The freezer works too but you need to let them sit out for a good 2 to 4 minutes before eating so you don’t hurt your teeth. I used Monkfruit sweetener to keep these sugar free and low carb but I tested with raw local honey as well so see below for substitutions!
