Directions
In a mixing bowl, combine creamy peanut butter, date syrup, date sugar, almond flour, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until well combined and the mixture forms a dough-like consistency.
Line a rectangular baking dish with parchment paper. Press the nougat mixture evenly into the bottom of the dish. Place it in the freezer for 15-20 minutes to set while you prepare the caramel layer.
In a food processor or blender, combine soaked dates, creamy peanut butter, date syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Process until smooth and creamy.
Remove the baking dish from the freezer and spread the caramel layer evenly on top of the nougat layer. Return to the freezer and let it set for about 1 hour.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil together in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth and melted.
Take the baking dish out of the freezer and cut the layered bars into desired Snickers bar shapes.
Dip each bar into the melted chocolate, making sure to coat all sides. Use a fork to lift the coated bar, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off.
Place the coated bars on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Repeat the process for all the bars, then place the baking sheet in the refrigerator to allow the chocolate coating to set completely.
Once set, your homemade Snickers bars are ready to be enjoyed! Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Enjoy!
