Ingredients

No-bake Brownie Base (see instructions)
Cream Layer:

  • 1/2 cup coconut cream (the thick part of a chilled coconut can) (120 g)
  • 2/3 cup cashews soaked (100 g)
  • 1/2 cup oat flour or almond flour (50 g)
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup or agave syrup (40 g)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Caramel Layer:

  • 1/3 cup + 1/2 tbsp maple syrup or agave syrup (120 g)
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk (120 ml)
  • 3 dates (60 g)
  • 1/4 cup smooth peanut butter or sunflower seed butter (60 g)
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 4 tbsp peanuts (optional)

Chocolate Layer:

  • 6 tbsp cacao butter melted (80 g)
  • 1 1/2 tbsp coconut oil melted (20 g)
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup or agave syrup (60 g)
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder (40 g)

Instructions

  1. Soak cashews in warm water for at least one hour, then discard the water (you can also boil them in water for 15-20 minutes or until they are soft).
  2. Make the no-bake brownie base as per the instructions in the recipe and press the dough firmly into a pan (lined with foil or parchment paper). My pan measures 8 1/2 x 6 inches. If you use a bigger pan the bars will be less thick.
  3. For the cream layer, process all ingredients in your high-speed blender or food processor until smooth and creamy. Pour the cream layer onto the brownie base and put the pan into your freezer until the layer is firm (approx. one hour).
  4. Put all ingredients for the caramel layer (except the peanuts) into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir with a whisk and let simmer on low heat for about 10-15 minutes until the mixture gets thicker. Pour the caramel layer onto the cream layer, place the peanuts on top, and put the pan back into the freezer for about 30 minutes. Check the recipe notes if you want to make the caramel layer with dates!
  5. For the chocolate layer, melt the cocoa butter and the coconut oil in a double boiler (I made a water bath). Place all ingredients in a saucepan and stir until combined. Pour the chocolate onto the caramel layer and put the pan back into the freezer for about 15 minutes. Check the recipe notes for a SIMPLE chocolate alternative.
  6. Cut into your desired size and shape (it works best with a hot knife). Enjoy your Vegan Snickers Bars thawed!
ENJOY!💚💚💚
