Indulge in Guilt-Free Delights with These Nutritious Treats!
This healthier twist on the classic Snickers candy bar features layers of nougat, caramel, crunchy nuts, and chocolate, all while being gluten, grain, and dairy-free. It is also refined sugar-free, vegan, high in protein, and can be adapted for sugar-free, keto, or low-carb diets. The recipe eliminates the need for Medjool dates, making it easier to prepare without special equipment like a food processor. Instead, a liquid sweetener like allulose or sugar-free maple syrup can be used, along with sugar-free chocolate for those looking to reduce their sugar intake.
The ingredients for the nougat include almond or peanut butter, coconut oil, maple syrup or a sugar-free alternative, almond flour, coconut flour, vanilla, and sea salt. The caramel is made from similar components, incorporating additional chopped almonds or peanuts for crunch. To prepare, simply combine the nougat ingredients and press them into a loaf pan, followed by a layer of caramel. After freezing, the bars can be sliced and dipped in melted chocolate, with the option to sprinkle flakey sea salt on top for added flavor.

Today we’re making a healthy version of Snickers and we’re going to make it gluten-free dairy free vegan refined sugarfree and if you swap the maple syrup for a sugar-free syrup then this can be keto low carb too we’re going to start by prepping our pan this is a no bake recipe so really you can use anything to shape your bars you want it.
About these Dimensions though it’s 4 and 1/2 by 8 and 1/2 or you can double the recipe and use an 8 by8 pan or you can even use a an ice cube tray and make little Snickers bites we’ll show you that later on as well as some other nut options you can do one little hack is to spray your pan with oil we use an avocado spray and it helps your.
Parchment stick to the sides and now we’re going to get our new get layer ready this is going to be almond butter coconut oil maple syrup we’re actually using a 50/50 mix of maple syrup and alose and then we’re going to use almond flour and coconut flour some vanilla and a pinch of salt so we’re going to go ahead and combine this.
All in one bowl and then we’re going to mix it up and when it’s nice and smooth we’re going to add it to our loaf pan and smooth it out I find the easiest way to do this is to add all your liquidy ingredients first and once you’ve got that pretty homogeneous then you can add in your flour because the almond flour and the coconut flour are going to.
Absorb some of the liquid and make that nouy chewy texture so next we’re going to to bring our pan back over and we’re going to spread this nugat out in a nice even layer and when we’re happy with that we’re going to make our next layer which is our caramel layer it has similar ingredients except for the coconut flour and the almond flour so.
That it stays a nice liquidy caramel it’s kind of like our peanut butter caramel you’ve seen in the past and then we’re going to add some crunchy nuts to it too for the caramel we need almond butter coconut oil maple syrup vanilla sea salt and some nuts so we’re going to go a head and add this all to the Bowl just like the nougat layer except I like.
To leave the nuts for the end after you’ve got the caramel nice and smooth I like to add half of the nuts and then after you’ve spread your caramel layer into your pan I like to sprinkle the last nuts on top so they’re kind of poking out and not buried in Caramel it gives it more authentic Snickers Vibes now we’re using almonds and almond.
Butter here but you can totally go ahead and use peanuts and peanut butter for a completely authentic Snickers Vibe we’ve done this with a vegan Nutella as well and that was absolutely delicious you could do it with pistachios I mean your possibilities are endless so once you’ve got your last nut sprinkled on top we are going to pop this in the freezer.
What we want is the caramel to set up enough that we can cut these bars nicely so ours has been sitting in the freezer for about 2 hours and if you find that your bars are sticking in your pan you can gently use a knife like we are or use a spatula just to loosen up and be able to pop it out then grab a knife and a cutting board and let’s cut these up.
We cut them into eight long skinny pieces more like Snickers but feel free to cut them however you like you could cut them how we did but then cut them in half again or in third or you could just cut them into eight squares that would be cute too totally up to you next we’re going to prep our dipping chocolate but one thing to note if you notice when you.
Were cutting your bars that they were soft pop the bars back in the freezer while we’re prepping the chocolate just to give it a little more chill time and we’re going to take our chocolate with a little bit of coconut oil and we are going to heat it in the microwave on 30 second first until it’s nice and melted you can also do this in a double boiler.
Now that we’ve got our dipping station set up let’s get dipping we’re just going to throw one bar at a time into our chocolate and we’re going to use our Forks or a few spoons to move it around and flip it over till it’s totally covered then lift it up and let it drip a little bit before moving it to your parchment and you’re just going to.
Continue that until you’ve dipped all of your bars and if you like at this point you can sprinkle some flaky sea salt on top and after the chocolate has started to set you can use a fork or a Piping Bag and drizzle a pattern on top kind of like the Snickers and when you got them all done we’re going to pop them back in the fridge until the chocolate sets up.
And you’ll notice it goes from shiny to dull and then you’re ready to try them you can see the chewy nougat layer at the bottom a caramel layer on top and some nuts now this was was a test batch we did just to show that you can make it in a different pan and make little squares you can use an ice cube tray whatever you like and don’t forget to.
Try this with different nut Butters or seed Butters too this dark one was done with hazelnut chocolate hazelnut butter and it was absolutely fantastic we’ll be doing that one again and then you’re just going to go ahead and dip them like normal and then after we’ve got them out of the chocolate they all look the same so we to the hazelnut ones with a little.
Piece of hazelnut I think these would be delicious done with pistachio butter as well or if you have nut allergies in your house use sunflower butter
