Description

These healthy Snickers bars are a homemade twist on the classic candy, made with just 6 simple ingredients. They’re gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, and layered with shortbread, caramel, peanuts, and chocolate.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter (unsweetened)
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1/2 cup roasted peanuts
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • flaky salt (for topping, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350° Fahrenheit and line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Add all shortbread ingredients to a large bowl and mix to combine. Transfer the crust to your prepared baking pan and press it down into an even layer. Bake for 10 minutes or until lightly golden brown around the edges. Leave to cool for at least 10 minutes.
  3. Make the caramel layer by adding all caramel ingredients to a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk the mixture together and continue whisking as it heats up and starts to gently bubble. After 2 minutes, remove from heat and pour over the cooled shortbread crust, then evenly sprinkle the peanuts over the caramel.
  4. Transfer the baking pan to the fridge to allow the caramel to set for at least 30 minutes. Once set, make the chocolate layer.
  5. To make the chocolate layer, melt together the chocolate chips and coconut oil until completely smooth. Pour the melted chocolate over the caramel and gently spread into an even layer.
  6. Transfer the pan back to the fridge to set for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate has hardened. Remove from the fridge, take out of the pan, and cut into 16 full-size bars or 32 mini bars.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
  • Feel free to substitute peanut butter with cashew or almond butter.
