Carnivore Crack Bars
These Carnivore Crack Bars are dangerously delicious—they taste just like rich, buttery caramel with a hint of chocolatey crunch. They are not truly carnivore, but they were inspired by the brown butter “carnivore crack” and I made them a little sweeter. Made with wholesome ingredients and packed with flavor, they’re best stored in the freezer… but fair warning: they’ll disappear fast! Hide them in the back if you want any left for yourself!
