    Snickers Snack Bites

    December 1, 2021 by Taisha Bell

    Aright, we’re in the middle of a pandemic and after getting my sweet tooth fix on a few too many mini snickers bars I had the idea. Could I make my own version of my favorite candy bar with real unprocessed items? Challenge accepted, and they exceeded my expectations! Made from a base of dates, peanut butter, almond flour, and oat flour they are a satisfying snack or treat when you’re craving something sweet.

    ~14 bites
    WHAT YOU NEED
    1/2 cup dates (about 6 large dates), soaked in boiling water for at least 30 minutes⁣
    1/3 cup + 1 tbsp peanut butter⁣
    2 tbsp milk⁣
    1 tbsp maple⁣
    1 tsp vanilla⁣
    1 tbsp maca⁣, optional but recommended
    3/4 cup + 2 tbsp almond flour⁣
    2 tbsp oat flour⁣
    1/4 tsp salt⁣
    ⁣
    chocolate coating:⁣
    3/4 cup chocolate chips ⁣
    1 tbsp coconut oil⁣, optional
    ⁣
    peanut layer:⁣
    3/4 cup peanuts, processed in food processor⁣
    ⁣
    HOW TO MAKE
    Boil enough water to cover the dates and allow to soak for 15 minutes or longer. This will help them soften! Remove the pit and transfer to a food processor along with peanut butter, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla. Process until a smooth, creamy paste forms, scraping the sides frequently. Once smooth add the almond flour, oat flour, maca, and salt. Process again until it is all evenly incorporated.⁣
    ⁣
    Once the dough forms, heat chocolate and coconut oil in the microwave stirring every 30 seconds or so until it is evenly melted and smooth.⁣
    ⁣
    Process peanuts in a processor until small crumbs are made, don’t over process! Transfer to a bowl.⁣
    ⁣
    Scoop 1 tbsp balls and roll each until all the dough is used. Using a slotted spoon dip in chocolate and allow the excess to drip off. Drop into peanut mixture and use a spoon tossing the ball until evenly coated. Place on a plate and repeat with the rest of the balls. Store/allow to cool in the fridge.
