Ingredients for Eat-More Bars
This is my version of Eat-More, a Canadian chocolate bar with a dark toffee taste that’s full of peanuts and chocolate.
- Corn syrup or creamed honey - For the toffee taste we're going for.
- Peanut butter - Gives these bars the creamy texture and peanutty taste.
- Chocolate chips - We're making chocolate bars!
- Salted, roasted peanuts - For the perfect amount of salt and crunch.
See recipe card for exact amounts.
Instructions
Supervise young cooks to avoid burning the chocolate. It takes patience to stand over the pot and stir but some kids love watching it all melt together.
Substitutions & Variations
Corn syrup - Sometimes I have corn syrup I want to use up, other times I buy creamed honey works.
Peanut butter - I haven't tried other nut butter, or no-nut butter, but I'm sure they would work well.
Chocolate Chips - Substitute squares of baking chocolate if that's what you have.
Peanuts - Try any salted nut or a combination of your favourite nuts.
Get The Tools
All you need for stovetop recipes is a decent quality set of pots and pans. I often use my 8-inch square baking pan for this recipe of a larger baking sheet. Either way I line the pan with parchment paper or parchment sheets.
Storage
I store these in the fridge or freezer and like them best cold. At room temperature, especially if it is warm, they can be very soft. Store them in an airtight container and they could last a long time but that never really happens.

Flo
Have you tried to make this in the microwave?

Hi Flo! I have not tried making this recipe in the microwave but that doesn't mean you can't. That catch would be stopping it right when it reaches a boil. I've got 2 tips for you that I use when melting chocolate. 1. Put the mixture in a bowl that is a good size for the mixture, not too big. That way it avoids burning around the edges. 2. Cook on high for 1 min, stir and repeat stirring every 30 seconds. I think you'll be fine! Come back and let me know how it worked.

Cinde, do you have any idea if this recipe would work with sugar-free honey that is made from Allulose? I have one that’s pretty thick like real honey. I know some of them are kind of runny. I know you don’t specialize in low-carb. I was just wondering if you had maybe heard any feedback that said it might work. I’m just worried it might not set up… thanks in advance!

Hi Holly! This is a sugar laden recipe and I have not tried to change it. What I suggest is that you try making them in a larger pan so they are thinner and freezing them to keep them firm enough to eat. Someone did tell me she makes them with carob, instead of chocolate, so they don't melt so fast in warmer weather. I hope that helps and do come back to let me know what you figured out.

This is a great treat to take on a ski day! Everyone loves it.
