What Are Raw Snickers?
Raw Snickers are easy no-bake bars with a cashew nougat base and a no-bake date caramel on the top, coated with plant-based chocolate. It’s a delicious dessert that can also be enjoyed as a post-workout snack.
How To Make Raw Snickers
No-bake Snickers bars or raw vegan Snickers are a healthier version of your favorite commercial snickers bars. They have a similar taste and texture as the one you love from the store without the refined ingredients.
Ingredients
All you need to make healthy homemade Snickers are:
Cashews – fresh cashews to make the base. Peanut Butter – fresh, runny with no added oil, no added sugar. You can also use almond butter or sunflower seed butter. Coconut Flour – Coconut flour is a healthy flour that is safe to eat raw. Dates – Medjool dates are my favorite for this recipe. Unsweetened Almond Milk – Or any other plant-based milk such as cashew milk, oat milk, or coconut milk. Vanilla – To give the bars even more flavor. Coconut Oil – Coconut oil is a magic ingredient that keeps these bars solid in the fridge and makes them melt in your mouth. Dark Chocolate – chocolate with more than 70% cocoa chocolate is often vegan. I recommend 85% or 90% dark chocolate for this recipe.
Making The Layers
We all love vegan Snickers, sweet peanut candy bars with a chewy nougat layer, sticky caramel, and crunchy chocolate. This is the secret to making healthier wholesome vegan Snickers layers.
Nougat layer – a combination of cashews, peanut butter, maple syrup, and coconut flour. This creates the most delicious sticky nougat layer with a delicious peanut flavor. The caramel layer is a sticky peanut date caramel made of peanut butter and soft Medjool dates. The chocolate coating is made of 90% dark chocolate to decrease sugar as the 2 previous layers are already very sweet.
Why Are Raw Snickers Healthy?
These are healthier versions of your favorite Snickers bars. Of course, I can’t say healthy because they are still high in calories and saturated fat from peanuts. But, the wholesome ingredients in this recipe provides fiber, nutrient, and less sugar. Let’s see some numbers to compare 50g of these raw vegan Snickers bars to a commercial one:
10g fewer carbs 10 g less sugar 2 times more fiber Iron, magnesium, and potassium form dates and nuts!
So if you want to indulge in raw vegan desserts, this is a better option than any other treats made of refined sugar!
