Healthy Vegan Snickers Bars

With layers of nougat, caramel, crunchy nuts and chocolate, you’ll LOVE this healthier twist on the classic snickers candy bar. It’s gluten, grain and dairy-free, refined sugar free, vegan, high in protein, and can so easily be made sugar-free/keto/low carb too!!



We made this version without Medjool dates so 1) you don’t need special equipment like a food processor and 2) this recipe is easily converted to sugar-free/keto/low carb too, just by using a liquid sweetener like allulose or sugar-free maple syrup, and using sugar-free chocolate.



Here's how we made them: https://youtu.be/8trDPAkZHOc
