Snicker slice

Recipe binder | Sweet treats

Disclaimer: this recipe results in the most addictive sweet treat you can imagine. Please make sure you only make this recipe when:

  • You are in need of some serious cheering up;
  • Have a friend that is in need of some serious cheering up; or
  • You have lots of people coming round and will in no way be tempted to consume the entire fruits of your labour on your own…

…otherwise you are at a serious risk of eating them all {potentially in one go}.  You have been warned!

I’ve made a few of these “snicker” variants from the various “clean eating” enthusiasts of this world and I think I have found the best one (which is a slightly adapted variant from the Natural Born Feeder).  Please don’t be fooled into thinking that this is “healthy”.  It’s nothing of the sort.  What it is, however, is a real treat with fewer of the refined sugars and general “nasties” (also known as “yummies”) that you find in typical sweet treats.  So in that sense if you’re craving something sweet (and boy do you need to be seriously craving something sweet to have one of these) this is the best you can get.  This recipe makes about 8 mini snicker bars but they are more suitable in 16 bite sized chunks.  At least that way you might have a serious chance of finishing one.  Accept the challenge…if you dare!

 

Ingredients
For the base
5 tbsp coconut flour
2 tbsp maple syrup
3 tbsp peanut butter
2 1/2 tbsp coconut oil
For the caramel
6 medjool dates
5 tbsp peanut butter
4 tbsp maple syrup
100ml almond milk (or normal milk works absolutely fine)
pinch sea salt 
100g peanuts (or cashews)
For the topping
100g dark chocolate
Method
  1. Place all the ingredients for the base into a food processor and blitz unit all combined.  Then pour out into a lined square baking tin, ensuring that it has an even top.  Place into a fridge and leave to set for 30 minutes.
  2. Next place all the ingredients for the caramel (except the peanuts) in the food processor and blitz until combined.  Once combined add the peanuts and pulse – you want the peanuts to still be chunky for that real snickers texture.  Transfer the caramel to the baking tin and spread over the biscuit base, ensuring an even covering.
  3. Melt the chocolate (preferably in a bowl over simmering water) and pour over the caramel.  Place into the fridge to set.  Once set cut up into slices (or squares) and store in a tin in the fridge.  They should keep for about 7 days.

Hello


Hello and welcome to {the good wifey}...I'm a thirty "something" who is recently married and looking for somewhere to record all the recipes I make and the things I get up to. A modern day diary if you will. You know how you always cook something you love, make it repeatedly and then forget about it? Well I'm hoping that this website will help ensure that doesn't happen again. I'm also a big lover of traditions and hope that this blog will allow me to look back over all that I get up to at each point in the year. Thank you for visiting xxxx
