Mint Patty Bars (Low-Carb,Sugar-Free, THM:S!)

This post might include affiliate links for products that I know and LOVE!

When I was a little girl, my Mom would let each of us pick out a small treat in the checkout lane at the end of our grocery shopping trip. More times than not, I’d choose a Peppermint Patty. They always give me a feeling of nostalgia, yet I haven’t been able to find a healthy version that I LOVE.

Until I created these bars. My Mint Patty Bars have a graham cracker type crust, a mint mousse filling, and a chocolate topping. Together, these flavors are pretty close to my beloved Peppermint Patty! Plus, they are super pretty, which is always a given with girly Cate. 🙂 These bars are low-carb, sugar-free, grain-free and a Trim Healthy Mama “S”.  They have a large dose of coconut oil in them which gives them super-metabolism revving powers.

Feed them to your non-healthy eating loved ones and they’ll never be able to tell that this isn’t a sugar-filled dessert!
