Description

Imagine a symphony of textures and flavors dancing on your palate. This delightful treat begins with a crisp, buttery base crafted from almond flour, offering a satisfyingly delicate crunch that gives way to a melt-in-your-mouth experience. As you bite into the base, you encounter a rich, decadent layer created from browned butter and a touch of sweetness.

The butter, carefully heated to a nutty perfection, infuses every crevice of the base with its deep, caramel-like notes. The sweetener, blended seamlessly, enhances the butter's inherent richness without overpowering the other flavors. This confection is then enrobed in a luscious blanket of smooth, dark chocolate, its intensity balanced by a refreshing hint of peppermint.

The peppermint extract awakens the senses, providing a cool, invigorating contrast to the other warm, comforting flavors. The chocolate, allowed to harden to a perfect snap, adds another layer of textural intrigue. To finish, the treat is generously adorned with chocolate chips and festive sprinkles.

The chocolate chips contribute bursts of intense chocolatey goodness, while the sprinkles provide a playful visual appeal, transforming each piece into a miniature work of art. This versatile dessert is incredibly adaptable. Feel free to experiment with different types of chocolate chips, or add a dusting of crushed peppermint candies for an extra festive touch.

It is a treat that is easy to share and customize, making it perfect for any gathering or celebration. When properly stored, this treat can be enjoyed for days. Keep it in the refrigerator to maintain its firmness and prevent the chocolate from melting, or store it in the freezer for a longer-lasting indulgence.

Whether enjoyed as a standalone dessert, a sweet snack, or a thoughtful gift, this treat is sure to impress with its complex flavors and delightful textures.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat the oven to 300 F (149 C). Combine the almond flour, sea salt, baking powder, egg, 2 tbsp butter, and 2 tbsp powdered sweetener in a mixing bowl. The mixture will look dry but keep mixing and the dough will come together.
    2.
    Place the dough between two pieces of parchment paper. Roll the dough thin to thickness using a rolling pin. Slide both sheets of paper onto a baking sheet. Then remove the top piece of parchment paper. Use a paring knife to score the dough into about 1 x 1 squares. Then bake the dough for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Allow the dough to cool.
    3.
    Remove the crackers from the baking sheet. Line the baking sheet with foil now (the foil should go up the sides of the baking sheet). Line the same baking sheet with the crackers which have been broken up along the score lines. Make sure there are minimal gaps between the crackers. Place cup butter (or 1 stick) into a small saucepan with cup powdered sweetener and a pinch of salt.
    4.
    Melt the butter over medium heat, stirring occasionally so the butter doesn’t burn. Once the mixture is completely melted, allow the mixture to come to a simmer. Simmer the mixture, swirling the pan occasionally until the mixture turns an amber color, about 8-10 minutes. Add in the peppermint extract. Pour the butter mixture over the crackers and bake at 300 F for 5 minutes. The mixture will be very liquid so be careful removing it from the oven. Allow the tray to cool slightly before placing the baking sheet into the fridge to cool until hardened.
    5.
    Once the crackers have cooled and hardened, begin to melt the chocolate. Melt the chocolate over a double boiler until smooth. Pour the melted chocolate over the crackers and spread with an offset spatula.
    6.
    Immediately sprinkle on the white chocolate chips and sugar-free sprinkles. Chill the baking sheet again in the fridge. Once chilled, break into pieces and serve!
