Healthy Vegan Snickers Bars with Dates

Nougat

• 2 Cups Oat Flour
• 1/3 Cup Nut Butter
• 1/3 Cup Maple Syrup
• 1 Teaspoon Vanilla
• 1/2 Teaspoon Salt

Caramel

• 1 Pound Medjool Dates (about 3 loose cups or 26 dates)
• 1/3 Cup Peanut Butter
• 2/3 Cup Peanuts

Chocolate

• 14 Ounces Vegan Dark Chocolate
• Kosher Salt

1. In a large bowl mix nougat ingredients until combined. Press into a 9x9" pan lined with parchment. Freeze until solid, 20 minutes.
2. Blend dates and peanut butter in a food processor. The mixture will form a ball.
3. Press the date mixture on top of the nougat. Then press the peanuts into the dates - make sure they are secure. Freeze again to set, about 10 minutes.
4. Remove the pan from the freezer and lift the parchment out of the pan. Slice into bars - I made 18, but you can make more or less.
5. In a microwave-safe dish, heat the chocolate on 50% power. Stir every 30-60 seconds to avoid burning the chocolate.
6. Using a fork, dip each bar in chocolate. Then place on a wire rack to drip. Sprinkle with salt and top with a few peanuts, to decorate. (Alternatively, drizzle the chocolate on top of the bars - this is much quicker.) Return the bars to the freezer for 5 minutes to set. Serve and enjoy!
