I am, by most standards, what many would call a “foodie” (even though I’m not a huge fan of the term.) And while it’s true that these days you’ll find us on our date nights at some of the Twin Cities’ best restaurants, the food I ate growing up was quite humble.

Of all my grandma’s recipes, her turtle bars are my absolute favorite. They’re my kryptonite whenever she sets them out. Since going keto, I’ve done a good job taking one bite and then passing the rest of it to my husband, but now I’ve done one better and made them into my keto dream! These low carb turtle bars clock in at only 2 grams net carbs per bar so I can now enjoy a whole bar without sharing!

It tastes so much like the original and I don’t miss the carbs at all!

And since it’s still the dead of winter, and we’re all craving comfort food, this is the perfect recipe to make this week.
