Healthy Cookies & Creme Chocolate Bars
Creamy, rich, melt-in-your-mouth Cookies &Creme Chocolate Bars that are vegan, paleo-friendly, gluten-free, & refined sugar-free, made with just 6 simple ingredients!
Ingredients
- 1 cup cacao butter
- 1/2 cup monk fruit/allulose powdered sugar *or regular powdered sugar. i haven't tested honey or maple syrup, but those will probably work as well.
- 3/4 cup cashew butter *sunflower butter is great for a nut-free option
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1 box Simple Mills Sandwich Cookies *you won't use the whole box!*
- *optional: 1 scoop of your favorite vanilla protein powder *i use a plant-based protein in the flavor vanilla buttercream. It makes it taste amazing! (linked in the notes below!) I haven't tried whey, etc.
Instructions
- Add the cacao butter to a medium-sized heat-safe bowl. Either heat in the microwave or on low on the stovetop, until completely melted, stirring occasionally. Let the mixture cool for a few minutes.
- Add the confectioner’s sugar, salt and vanilla, and whisk until smooth. I actually like to let my cacao butter cool completely and then add it to my food processor (i find this helps create a more uniform mixture).
- Break up the cookies into small pieces. Fold them into the mixture.
- Pour/spread the mixture into your chocolate molds. Then place in the fridge to firm up.
- Once completely firm, carefully remove from the molds. I like to store mine in the fridge in an air-tight bag or container to prevent melting. Enjoy!

Notes
Ingredient notes: You can use peanut butter, but this will result in a stronger peanut butter flavor (so delicious, still!). For the most authentic white chocolate flavor, stick to cashew butter. Sunflower seed butter is great for a nut-free option!
I use macro mike vanilla buttercream protein! You can find it here! (code "amb-dani" will save you!)
