Vegan No-Bake Peanut Butter Snickers Bars

By Jamie Vespa

Vegan Peanut Butter Snickers Bars are made with just 5 ingredients and require no baking. This raw vegan dessert is a healthier alternative to the classic candy with no added sugar.

Ingredients

• 1 cup raw cashews
• 1/2 cup roasted, unsalted peanuts
• 6 pitted Medjool dates
• 1/4 tsp. sea salt
• 6 pitted Medjool dates
• 1/2 cup creamy salted peanut butter
• 1/3 cup roasted, unsalted peanuts
• 3 Tbsp. chocolate chips ((use Enjoy Life for vegan/dairy-free chocolate))
• Pinch of flaky salt

Instructions

1. 1

   Create the base by combining cashews, peanuts, dates, and salt in a food processor. Blend until ingredients begin to form a ball (refer to photo above). Transfer to a loaf pan lined with parchment paper. Press mixture down in a single layer, using the back of a measuring cup or spoon to help press down and condense mixture. Place in the freezer.

2. 2

   Create filling by combining dates, peanut butter, and salt in a food processor; blend mixture, adding 4 Tbsp. of water in 1 Tablespoon increments, until smooth. Remove pan from the freezer and spread filling mixture evenly over base mixture.

3. 3

   Create topping by placing chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwaving for 30-second increments, stirring often, until melted and smooth (about 2 minutes total).

4. 4

   Sprinkle peanuts on top of date filling and drizzle melted chocolate overtop. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt, if desired.

5. 5

   Freeze for 1 hour. Slice into 10 bars.
