• Preheat oven to 325 F.
  

• Using a quarter-size cookie sheet, place parchment in it without greasing the pan and set aside.
  

• In a mixer, whip the butter until fluffy, then pour in the sweetener.
  

• Add half the flour. Once that is incorporated into the butter, continue adding in all other ingredients.
  

• When the batter is finished, it will have the consistency of whipped cream cheese or whipped butter. Thick, but soft.
  

• Scrap the dough out onto your cookie sheet and use a recessed spatula to spread the dough out evenly over the cookie sheet to about a 1/2 inch thickness.
  

• Bake for 20 minutes.
  

• While that bakes, prepare the topping. (I used chopped almonds because I didn't have any sliced.)
  

• In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sweetener, extracts and about 2 tbsp. of whatever milk you'd like to use (I used unsweetened almond milk).
  

• When the bars are done baking, transfer the bar dough to a cutting board and allow to cool completely. Place in the freezer for at least 2 hours.
  

• Mix together the topping ingredients except for the almonds. Allow it to sit for a about 5-10 minutes to allow the sweetener to fully dissolve in the almond milk.
  

• With a spoon, drizzle the icing over the bars and finally, top with almonds.
  

• Slice the dough in thin strips.
  

• Serve with low carb hot chocolate! Yum!
