You know how I said I was going to take a “Chocolate Oat Bar Hiatus” because I was getting too obsessed with them? Well I cracked. So did these bars 🤷♀️ But I didn’t mind it and called them my crack bars.
I blame my cracking on the explore page. It kept showing me these homemade white chocolate snickers bars video. Every time this video came up I watched it but every time I watched it I got even more tired just watching the process 😅
You make layers and layers and you cover each bar individually… I wanted to eat the same thing but for like 20% the effort 🤷♀️ and this is what I came up with!
It has a caramely raw brownie layer and peanut layer and covered in chocolate in one fell swoop. Easy, delicious. Let me know what you think!
White Chocolate “Snickers” Bars
Equipment
- food processor
Ingredients
Brownie Layer
- 1/2 cup chopped medjool dates (80 g)
- 2 tbsp peanut butter (32 g) sub other nut/seed butter
- 1 cup oats (80 g)
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder (12 g)

Toppings
- 1/2 cup peanuts (60 g) sub other nuts
- 1/3 cup white chocolate chopped (60 g) vegan if desired

- Transfer to bowl and add enough nut milk 1 tbsp at a time to turn it into a non sticky dough, about 4 tbsp.
- Press evenly into loaf pan with parchment. Sprinkle peanuts and press down gently.
- Microwave chocolate and coconut oil 30 sec at a time to melt completely.
- Pour into loaf pan, tap to even it, freeze until solid, about 1 hour.
- Slice and store frozen or refrigerated.
Notes
- If you don’t have a food processor and/or don’t want to deal with medjool dates, make the brownie layer by stirring together:
- 3/4 cup oat flour (90 g)
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder (24 g)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup (84 g)
- 2 tbsp nut/seed butter (32 g)
- pinch of salt
- about 2 tbsp (nut) milk (30 g)
- If your medjool dates aren’t the soft, soak them in hot water for 30 minutes and completely drain before using them.
