Instructions:
- Prepare the Nougat Layer:

- Create the Caramel Swirl:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar-free caramel sauce and almond butter.
- Assemble the Layers:
- Line a square baking pan with parchment paper. Spread the nougat layer evenly in the pan.
- Drizzle the caramel swirl over the top of the nougat layer. Use a toothpick or knife to create a marbled effect.
- Sprinkle the finely chopped roasted peanuts over the caramel layer, ensuring an even distribution.
- Freeze:
- Place the pan in the freezer for at least 2 hours, allowing the layers to set.
- Cut into Bars:
- Once the layers are firm, carefully remove the frozen block from the pan and cut it into bite-sized bars.

Weight Watchers Points Calculation for 1 Point Healthy Frozen “Snickers”
To calculate the Weight Watchers points, we’ll use the nutritional information provided and the Weight Watchers PointsPlus formula:
Nutritional Information per Serving:
- Calories: 90
- Protein: 7g
- Fat: 5g
- Carbohydrates: 6g
- Fiber: 2g
- Sugar: 1g
Weight Watchers uses different formulas for their various programs (e.g., SmartPoints, PointsPlus). Here, we will use the PointsPlus formula as an example:
PointsPlus Formula: Points=Calories50+Fat12−Fiber5\text{Points} = \frac{\text{Calories}}{50} + \frac{\text{Fat}}{12} – \frac{\text{Fiber}}{5}
Using the provided nutritional information:
- Calories: 9050=1.8\frac{90}{50} = 1.8
- Fat: 512=0.42\frac{5}{12} = 0.42
- Fiber: 25=0.4\frac{2}{5} = 0.4
- Protein:
- Weight Watchers PointsPlus does not deduct points for protein directly, but protein contributes to the overall nutritional balance considered.
Combining these:
Points=1.8+0.42−0.4=1.82\text{Points} = 1.8 + 0.42 – 0.4 = 1.82
Weight Watchers typically rounds to the nearest whole number:
Points≈2\text{Points} \approx 2
Thus, the calculated Weight Watchers Points for each serving of the Healthy Frozen “Snickers” is approximately 2 Points.
If you are using a specific Weight Watchers program (like SmartPoints), the calculation may vary slightly based on the updated formula which considers protein as a positive factor.
