Homemade Vegan Snickers Bars Recipe – Chewy Chocolate Candy

You won’t believe these Vegan Snickers Bars are made with healthy, whole foods ingredients – they’re the perfect decadent treat!

My birthday just passed and, for some reason, turning 24 feels strange. I don’t feel old, but I do feel like I should have more figured out. Life right now is a little uncertain: I’m looking for a job and weighing some personal things I’m not ready to share. Everywhere I look, friends from high school and college are getting engaged and married. It’s surprising — some days I still feel like a teenager begging my parents for permission to drive.

If I feel this way at 24, I can’t imagine how I’ll feel at 30 or 40. Time seemed endless when I was younger; now it seems to fly by. Does anyone else notice how quickly the years pass?

Regardless, the best we can do is enjoy the moments we have — and that definitely includes eating these vegan snickers bars. When I made them for friends, they couldn’t believe they were made from wholesome, simple ingredients. They’re completely natural: buckwheat, coconut oil, organic peanut butter, peanuts, cacao and dates. In my opinion they taste even better than a traditional Snickers and don’t contain any unnecessary additives. I hope you enjoy them as much as we did.

Ingredients

Biscuit Layer

Biscuit Layer

  1. In a food processor, pulse the buckwheat groats until a chunky meal forms. A few whole groats are fine.

Peanut Butter Layer

  1. Scatter 1/2 cup of shelled peanuts evenly over the biscuit layer.
  2. In a bowl, mix the peanut butter with the melted coconut oil until smooth and creamy.
  3. Pour the peanut butter mixture over the peanuts, then freeze the pan for about 30 minutes to set.

Chocolate Layer

Putting It All Together
