Where should I start? “Snickers, Raider” (anyone as old as me remembers it), or simply a bar with a base of nougat filled with caramel and peanuts, coated with a thick layer of chocolate Chocolate . Simply put, it’s a dream come true for all those who have enjoyed grabbing a candy bar at the gas station and at some point said: Stop it, I want something healthy and not a glucose shock. Coincidentally, these bars also taste much better than the namesake (at least that’s how I feel) and fill you up faster. Well, enough arguments for this ingenious snack? Then let’s get started.
Vegan candy bar that tastes like “Snickers”? Give it to me!
The list of ingredients is actually manageable and you don’t need any special equipment. The base is a delicious layer of vegan nougat that I made from rolled oats, coconut flour, rice syrup, Coconut oil , Oat milk and a pinch of salt. On top is a layer of caramel made with Medjool dates, almond butter, tahini, coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla, a pinch of salt and peanuts(Yuhuu!!! ).
The crowning touch is a thick layer of vegan chocolate coating. Ready! Sounds simple, is simple!
Super delicious vegan Snickers bar
This time I was actually faced with the question of which form to use. The problem was that all the standard shapes were too big. Who wants to shop for a paper-thin Snickers or triple the amount? That’s why I went looking for it and found it in my parents’ garage. In the middle of the garbage separation was a perfectly rinsed plastic ice cream package, about 10x20cm. Perfect! Upcycling made easy, I would say. Whereas, to be honest, you should actually stop buying plastic packaging in the first place. Yes, dear owners, or you simply pack your ice cream in biodegradable containers in the future?
Here are a few more tips and tricks for making the “Snickers”:
- The perfect shape should be between 10×20 to 20x20cm. The larger the shape, the flatter the bars will be.
- When pressing in the base and caramel, I like to use a glass with a flat bottom that I wet beforehand so nothing sticks. For the fine work I use my fingers, but always moisten them too, otherwise everything sticks(and you have to lick it off in the worst case).
- To make the baseI use the small container of my Blendtec(advertising, as brand name), alternatively any other food processor works or (if the oat flour is already ground) simply your hands.
- If the dates are a little dry, soak them in boiling hot water for 10 minutes. This makes them soak up some water and easier to work with. I use quite large Medjool dates, which are very soft in themselves, so I don’t soak them extra.
- Always melt chocolate at a low temperature. I also often tend to work with too much heat, with the result that the chocolate becomes spotty when cooling. Tip: Melt only 2/3 of the total amount, remove from the water bath and then add the rest first. The heat melts everything evenly and the temperature is maintained.
RAW Tip: For those of you who want to work 100%. RAW work, I recommend replacing the roasted nuts with raw peanuts or other raw nuts and making the chocolate coating yourself. To do this, melt 100g of raw cacao, along with 200g of cacao butter, 80g of maple syrup and a pinch of salt over a water bath (it’s best to use a thermometer and stay below 42 degrees).
The “Snickers” go perfectly with a Chocolate Chia Smoothie, Immune Booster Latte or Strawberry Protein Smoothie .
