raw vegan snickers

vegan, gluten free, raw

These raw vegan snickers slices are healthier versions of the original candy bar. Filled with all-natural, plant-based ingredients, they pack the same delicious punch with three layers of pure decadence.

You can find my previous recipe for vegan snickers here . 

Ingredients:

For the base:
250g almonds 
150g raisins  
4 dates (stones removed)

For the caramel:
32 dates (stones removed)
4 tablespoons coconut oil
one vanilla pod
4 tablespoons water

For the toping:
80g salted peanuts, chopped
300g dark (vegan) chocolate

Method:  

To make the base, process the almonds in a food processor for about 1 minute until they reach a fine texture. Set the almonds aside in a bowl. Process the raisins and dates in a food processor until they a smooth paste, add the almonds and process the entire mixture. Place the mixture between two pieces of greaseproof paper and, using a rolling pin, roll it out until you have a square that is 1 cm thick.

To make the caramel, blend the dates, coconut oil, vanilla and water in a blender until it becomes a uniform caramel-like mass. It shouldn`t runny, but should hang easily on a spoon. Add a few additional dates or put it in the fridge if it is too runny- just be aware that it solidifies quickly.

Smooth the caramel over the base and sprinkle with chopped peanuts. Melt the chocolate in a bain-marine and pour it over the caramel. Let the chocolate cool, then cut the mixture into 14 pieces and place them in the fridge.

The bars can also be frozen.

Yum!
