No-bake, no-fuss, easy, recipe for making snickers bars whenever you want, eat them and move on!
If you ask me what my fav candy is, it sure will be a toss up between snickers and bounty bars (ok fine I’ll throw peanut butter cups in there too… and twix. Twix is good. Fine I like chocolate).
I mean, have you seen the blog and more of the blog?
To me, snickers = America. We didn’t have snickers bars growing up in Turkey and I was probably introduced to their glory when I went to college in big city Istanbul. I don’t remember when exactly but I do remember a love in first bite kind of action taking place somewhere down the line.
So now I live in full comfort of being able to make some snickers bars at home without even leaving my kitchen, with healthy wholesome ingredients no less.
I actually think they’re better than the real deal (they don’t stick to your teeth!), and would like you to let me know what you think!
Mini-batch Snickers Bars
Ingredients
Nougat layer
- 1 tbsp peanut butter (16 g) sub other nut/seed butter
- 1 tbsp maple syrup (21 g)
- 1/4 cup oat flour (30 g)
Caramel nut layer
- 1 tbsp peanut butter (16 g) sub other nut/seed butter
- 1 tbsp maple syrup (21 g)
- 3 tbsp peanuts (20 g) sub other nuts/seeds
Chocolate coating
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips (60 g)
- 1 tsp coconut oil (5 g)
Instructions
- In a bowl stir together peanut butter, maple syrup and enough oat flour to make a non-sticky dough. You may not need all of the oat flour. If the dough gets crumbly though, add a drop of water and mix again.
- Press into a flat rectangle (or use muffin cups). You can use some parchment. This is your nougat layer.
- Make the caramel nut layer by mixing together peanut butter and maple syrup. You could warm this in the microwave to make it easier to stir. Stir in the peanuts.
- Spread the mix over the nougat layer. Freeze until solid (1 hour at least).
- Microwave together chocolate and coconut oil, 30 sec at a time and stir until all chocolate is melted.
- Take the frozen bars and slice into 4.
- Using 1-2 forks dip each frozen piece in chocolate and set on a piece of parchment. Re-freeze or refrigerate to set the chocolate.
- Keep frozen or refrigerated and enjoy!
Notes
- Bars should not melt in room temperature but I wouldnāt take them out on a warm day as a to-go snack. Eat them at home š
