Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Healthy Snickers
If you love the classic chocolate, peanut, and caramel combination of a Snickers bar but want something made with simple ingredients and healthier, these Healthy Snickers are the perfect treat. They’re naturally gluten-free and dairy-free, made with wholesome ingredients, and taste just as incredible as the candy bar we all love.
Ingredients
Crust Layer:
- 1 cup almond flour
- 3 tbsp maple syrup or honey
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
Caramel Layer:
- 1/3 cup peanut butter
- 3 tbsp maple syrup or honey
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
Other Ingredients:
- 1-2 handfuls of peanuts
- 8 oz dark or semi-sweet chocolate (dairy-free or not)
- 2 tsp coconut oil
Instructions
Crust Layer:
- In a small bowl, mix all the crust ingredients together until well combined & sticky. Add extra syrup or flour, if needed.
- Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and press the crust mixture into the pan and smooth.
Caramel Layer:
- In a small bowl, mix all the caramel ingredients together and spread over the crust. Next, press the peanuts into the caramel. Set into the freezer until firm, up to two hours or more.
- After the layers are firm, remove from freezer and slice into 8 bars or whatever size you'd like.
Chocolate Layer:
- In a small bowl, melt the chocolate and coconut oil. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Coat the bars one by one in the chocolate and place on the paper. Refrigerate or freeze until chocolate is hard. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
No allergies? Just use regular semi-sweet chocolate to dip bars into.
Storage: Store these bars in the fridge or freezer to keep firm. We like to make double or triple batches of these bars to have some leftover in the freezer, in a sealed container. They make great grab & go treats, lunch box surprises, or late night cravings.
