Healthy Snickers

Homemade Snickers made from dates, peanut butter, peanuts and dark chocolate. Enjoy responsibly!

Ingredients: 

  • 60 g oat flour
  • 150 grams of dates
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 tablespoons milk (vegetable)
  • 50 g peanuts
  • 100 grams of dark chocolate
  • 2 tablespoons of water
  • pinch of salt

Preparation:

  • First make the caramel layer. Soak the dates in warm water for 10 minutes. Let these drain and put them in a food processor together with the peanut butter, vanilla, 2 tablespoons of milk and a pinch of salt. Mix this into a sticky mixture.
  • Place 3/4th of the mixture in a separate bowl and set aside, leaving 1/4th of the mixture in the food processor. Add the oat flour and 2 tbsp water to the food processor and mix until combined. Line a baking tin with baking paper and spread the oat flour mixture over it. Then spread the caramel layer over it and sprinkle the peanuts over the caramel layer. Press them a little so they stay in place. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  • Cut the Snickers into strips. Melt the dark chocolate in a bain-marie over a pan. When the chocolate has melted, place the bars in the dark chocolate and gently turn it with two forks so that the chocolate is evenly distributed over the bar. Place the bar on a piece of baking paper and let it harden.
  • Tip: these responsible Snickers are also vegan (provided the chocolate is vegan) and gluten-free (provided the oat flour is pure and gluten-free).
