(I love my chocolate & cookies though), but when I saw a recipe on the
HippieLane app for snicker inspired bars I thought it would be a fun thing to try
since I love raw desserts. If you have me on snapchat (vlagoyda) then,
you know how much Ive been moving on these bars!
Combining that recipe along with a few of my own additions, this recipe below was created. And in all honesty, these bars are so bomb! Hubs & I have been enjoying them every single day (and I mean every-single-day!).
*Note: If you have a high-speed blender/food processor the prep for these bars will take you no more than 20 min. I recommend making these in the evening to freeze overnight and enjoy in the morning.
Yield: 10-12 bars
Ingredients:
Bottom Layer:
– 1c Oats
– 1c Cashews or 1 cup Cashew Flour
– 1c Almond Flour
– 1c Unsweetened Coconut
– 1/2c Rice Malt
– 1/4c Coconut Cream
– Dash of Salt
Middle Layer:
– 2c Pitted Dates (soaking in boiling water for 1hr or so)
– 1/3c Peanut Butter
– 1tbsp Vanilla
– Dash of salt
– 1-2tbsp Coconut Cream (Used when blending for thinning down the
batter for an easier blend)
– 1/2c Roughly Chopped Peanuts – To sprinkle over layer
Chocolate Drizzle:
– 1/2c Coconut oil, melted
– 3/4c Cocao powder – Use a high quality cocao powder
– 1/4c maple syrup
Directions:
1. Using a high-speed food processor, blend oats, cashews, almond flour, coconut,
and salt until well combined.
2. Add rice malt and coconut cream. This will produce a sticky dough. (Note: At this point
I took it out of the food processor and into a bowl and mixed it with my hands to
have a uniformly combined dough).
3. Then press this dough into a lined baking sheet. You can make it as thick as you like,
but I recommend no more than ½-3/4 of an inch in thickness.
4. Back to the food processor we go, combine the dates (make sure you take the pits out!
I know a lot of people assume their already out, but they usually aren’t), peanut butter,
vanilla, salt and the coconut cream. Blend until smooth, or as smooth as you can get it
to.
5. Spread this layer over the first layer and sprinkle with the 1/2c of peanuts. Gently press
the peanuts into the dough and freeze while we work on the chocolate sauce.
6. Using a food processor, add the melted coconut milk, cocao powder, and maple syrup
until smooth and shiny. Drizzle over the bars and continue to freeze overnight.
7. Once the bars are solid, but them into strips to resemble bars and store in a container
in the freezer.

I noticed for the chocolate sauce, you said to use coconut oil but in the instruction you said to combine coconut milk, cocoa powder, and syrup. Can u clarify? I’m going to have a hard time waiting a whole night to eat these!
