​Here's a delicious recipe for raw vegan Snickers bars that are rich, satisfying, and completely plant-based:
Ingredients:
For the Nougat Layer:
  • 1 cup raw cashews, soaked for 4-6 hours and drained
  • 1/4 cup creamy almond butter
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • A pinch of sea salt
For the Caramel Layer:
  • 1/2 cup Medjool dates, pitted (about 6-8 dates)
  • 2 tablespoons creamy almond butter
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • A pinch of sea salt
For the Peanut Layer:
  • 1/2 cup roasted or raw organic unsalted peanuts
For the Chocolate Coating:
  • 1/2 cup dairy-free dark chocolate chips (or regular dark chocolate chips are ok if not vegan)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions:
  1. Prepare a Pan: Line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.
For the Nougat Layer:
  1. In a food processor, combine the soaked cashews, almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Process until the mixture is smooth and resembles a thick dough.
  2. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Place it in the freezer to set while you prepare the caramel layer.
For the Caramel Layer:
  1. In the same food processor (no need to wash it), combine the pitted Medjool dates, almond butter, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt. Process until you have a creamy caramel-like consistency.
  2. Spread the caramel layer over the nougat layer in the pan, ensuring an even distribution. Return the pan to the freezer to firm up for about 30 minutes.
For the Peanut Layer:
  1. Evenly distribute the unsalted peanuts over the caramel layer, gently pressing them into the caramel.
For the Chocolate Coating:
  1. In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the dairy-free dark chocolate chips and coconut oil until smooth.
  2. Pour the melted chocolate evenly over the peanut layer, ensuring all peanuts are coated. Use a spatula to smooth it out.
  3. Place the pan back in the freezer to set for at least 1-2 hours, or until it's firm and easy to cut.
  4. Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the whole Snickers slab out of the pan. Place it on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to cut it into bars or squares of your desired size.
  5. Store the raw vegan Snickers bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer to keep them firm. Enjoy!
These raw vegan Snickers bars are a delightful and healthier alternative to the classic candy bar. They are perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth while being entirely plant-based and free from refined sugars. Enjoy their rich, nutty, and caramel flavors!
