HEALTHY HOMEMADE ALTERNATIVE FOR SNICKERS
Those Healthy Snickers Bars will cut your cravings for sweets, I am pretty sure. They are just good for you, because they are made with only 6 plant based ingredients.
I am a huge fun of making everything by myself that is why I do not even buy candy. I would prefer to make my own candies, where I do know what I will use for making them. The great fact about those bars is that there’s no preservatives, artificial colors, or any unhealthy ingredients. Because I used healthy ingredients, after eating the bar I was feeling full as I ate whole meal and I did not feel that I want to eat more. Sometimes, when you will start eat store-bought candy you just eat more and more. One cookie, another…In this case, I did not even eat whole bar, because it was just too much.
Just try it out. They are addicting in the best way possible.
Ingredients:
First layer:
1 cup of almond butter
1 cup of coconut flour
2 tablespoons of agave syrup
2 tablespoons of cocoa
Second layer:
1 cup of peanut crunchy butter
⅓ cup of melted coconut oil
2 tablespoons of agave syrup
Dark chocolate 70-90%
Directions:
- In the pan, warm the almond butter up and add 2 tablespoons of agave syrup. Add one cup of coconut flour and 2 tablespoons of cocoa.
- Make a dough and spread it out in square baking dish or flat pan.
- Leave it in the freezer for 10 min.
- In the meantime, make a second layer. In the pan warm the peanut butter up. Add 1/3 cup of melted coconut oil and 2 tablespoons of syrup.
- Take the pan out of the freezer. Spread the second mixture on the dough and put in the freezer for 1 hour until firm.
- Remove the frozen “filling” from its container, then use a sharp knife to cut it into bar-sized pieces.
- Return these to the freezer while you melt your chocolate.
- Melt your chocolate using either a double boiler or the microwave. If you choose to use the microwave, place your chocolate pieces in a wide bowl (so the candy bars will fit along the base) and microwave at 30 seconds intervals, stirring in between. Once the chocolate is 75% melted, stop microwaving and stir the mixture with a spatula until completely melted.
- Moving quickly, place 1 candy bar into the bowl of melted chocolate. Use two forks to “flip” the bar, until it is coated in chocolate on all sides.
- Remove the bar from the melted chocolate, letting any excess chocolate drip off.
- Then, place it onto a plate lined with parchment paper. Repeat with the remaining bars
- Place the bars in the fridge for 5-10 minutes, to allow the chocolate to harden.
Keep the bars in the fridge. Just before eating, let the bars thaw for 5 minutes.
Enjoy!
