Equipment

Ingredients

Base

  • 1 cup peanuts
  • 1 cup medjool dates pitted
  • 1/4 tsp salt (don’t add salt if the peanuts you’re using are already salted)

Caramel Center

Chocolate

Instructions

  • Line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Make the base by combining the penautes, dates, and salt into a food processor. Pulse until you reach a sticky, dough-like consistency. Pour the mixture into the lined baking dish and press to spread evenly.
  • Make the filling by adding the dates, ¼ cup of the almond milk, peanut butter, vanilla, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt. Pulse until you begin to reach a smooth consistency. Add ¼ cup more of almond milk until you reach a thick, caramel-like consistency. If needed, add another ¼ cup almond milk to reach desired consistency.
  • Pour the caramel layer over the base and spread evenly. Sprinkle the 1 cup of peanuts over the caramel and lightly press them into the caramel. Cover and place in the freezer for about 2 hours.
  • Once the 2 hours is up, take the bars out of the freezer and pull them out of the baking dish with the parchment paper.
  • Heat the chocolate and coconut oil in a double boiler until melted. Let cool.
  • While the chocolate is cooling, cut the bars into desired shapes and sizes.
  • Line a large baking sheet with more parchment paper.
  • Dip the cut snicker bars into the chocolate. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing onto the lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining pieces.
  • Place into the freezer for another 10 minutes to harden. Serve immediately and store covered in the freezer!
