Introducing my delectable and guilt-free creation: Healthy Vegan Snickers Bars! These irresistible treats are a mouthwatering combination of rich flavours and wholesome ingredients that will satisfy your sweet tooth without compromising your health (or waistline for that matter!). Packed with nutritious goodness, my homemade Snickers Bars are the perfect indulgence for vegans and health-conscious individuals, which I am guessing you are if you’re visiting The Conscious Cook.

Each bite of these vegan Snickers bars is a heavenly blend of luscious caramel, crunchy peanuts, and velvety chocolate. I mean seriously say no more…

But what sets them apart is the fact that they are entirely plant-based and free from any refined sugars or artificial additives. The caramel layer is made from creamy peanut butter and naturally sweetened with dates, providing a smooth and chewy texture that melts in your mouth. Topped with a generous scattering of roasted peanuts and coated in rich vegan dark chocolate, these bars are a true delight for both your taste buds and your body. Treat yourself to a guilt-free indulgence by following this simple recipe on my blog, and prepare to be amazed by the irresistible combination of flavours and the satisfaction of nourishing your body with wholesome ingredients.

What you’ll need to make this recipe

So, I know you’re probably thinking as a mostly raw vegan treat that you’ll need at least 20 + ingredients and at least 5 different machines but you really don’t with this one. While there is some effort involved I’ve tried to make this one as easy as possible! Because I really hate all the washing up haha!

So, for this one you will absolutely need a good quality blender because we’re working with medjool dates and nuts which are both dense and sticky. Something like a Vitamix or Thermomix will do the job here. A stick blender not so much.

You’ll also need a rectangle or square baking tin that has high enough walls – about the height you would like your snickers bars to be. Mine was about 4-5cm.

Lastly, you’ll also need a double boiler or microwave dish you can melt your chocolate mixture in.

Ingredients

Outler Layer
400 g vegan dark chocolate
2 tbsp MCT oil
Base
1.5 cups unsalted roasted peanuts
6 medjool dates
1/3 cup coconut or almond flour
Caramel layer
pinch salt
0.5 cup almond milk
4 tbsp natural peanut butter
handful peanuts
10 medjool dates

Directions

Blend all of your base ingredients up in a high-powered blender or food processor. Then press into a lightly sprayed baking pan. Place into freezer while you proceed with your next steps.
Blend up caramel layer by placing all ingredients into a high-powered blender or food processor. To make more creamy simply add a dash of almond milk or water. Otherwise you may like to keep thicker. Once done spread out layer into baking pan you have placed into the freezer. Again, place back into the freezer while you make your chocolate layer.
To make the chocolate layer, simply melt in the microwave or double boiler until almost all chocolate is melted. Stir through and set aside. While this is finishing up melting, you’ll want to remove your mixture from the freezer and quickly cut into bar sizes.
Next, dip each bar into the chocolate and set on a tray. Once all bars are covered place into freezer to set.
