Snickers Bites

The perfect snack when your craving something sweet! It takes no time at all to make them, they’re sweet & salty-far healthier than the original snickers bars.

Why it’s good for you

It’s no secret that a snickers bar is not the most nutritious option, this tastes very similar to a the real deal without the emulsifiers, syrups & saturated fat. Dates are loaded with fibre which is good for our gut. Because they’re a dried fruit they are a more concentrated source of sugar, so don’t go eating them all in one sitting, 1 date = 1 serve.

Notes

  1. Play around with different flavours, swap peanut for almond butter or chocolate for coconut!

  2. Store in the fridge or freezer (personally, I think these taste best in the freezer, it elevates the texture & makes it taste more like caramel)

  3. Use medjool dates, other varieties don’t have the chewy caramel texture & flavour medjool dates do

  4. Choose as close as possible to 100% peanut butter (added sugar, salt & vegetables oils don’t belong on the ingredient list of peanut butter!)
