These healthy Snickers Bars are to die for. ‘Nough said. Honestly, if there is one thing I bring to a dinner party when I want to really WOW my friends, then it is a gift box of Healthy Snickers Bars, which was originally introduced to me by my Icelandic superhero friend Vala. My gourmand French husband even admits that these taste even better than a Snickers bar and it is the recipe that is most requested of me.
These healthy Snickers bars take no time to prepare and contain nourishing ingredients that your body will thank you for. I get ALL of these ingredients easily at SpiceBox Organics. Don’t skimp on subpar ingredients as you will notice the difference.
INGREDIENTS
Base
100g almonds
100g medjool dates (if dates are too dry soak them in water first)

60g almond butter (or other nut butter)
1 tsp maca powder
1/2 tbsp coconut oil (optional – add if the base is not sticking together enough)
Peanut Middle
1/2 cup toasted salted peanuts, chopped (for a healthier version, use chopped hazelnuts and 1/4 tsp salt)
Caramel Middle
100g maple syrup
50g coconut oil (melted)
50g almond butter
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 tsp cocoa powder
INSTRUCTIONS
2. Pour into a baking tin and press hard to stick.
