Description
Healthier Snickers Bars are a homemade twist on the classic candy bar, made with natural ingredients like dates, nuts, and dark chocolate. These bars deliver all the gooey, crunchy, chocolatey satisfaction of the original, but with a nutritious, refined sugar-free profile.
Ingredients
- 1 cup soft Medjool dates (pitted)
1/2 cup natural peanut butter
1/4 cup almond flour
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 cup roasted peanuts
1 cup dark chocolate chips
1 teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions
Line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a food processor, blend dates, peanut butter, almond flour, and sea salt until a sticky dough forms.
- Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the lined pan to form the base layer.
- Sprinkle roasted peanuts over the base, pressing them in slightly.
- Melt dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Pour melted chocolate over the peanut layer and spread evenly.
- Freeze for 1 hour or until firm.
- Slice into bars and enjoy.
Notes
- Use almond butter or cashew butter instead of peanut butter.
- Add a layer of date caramel (dates + a bit of water + vanilla blended).
- Top with flaky sea salt for a sweet-salty combo.
- Use dairy-free chocolate for a vegan version.
- Add chopped pretzels or puffed rice for extra crunch.
