If you fancy making something tasty then these homemade snickers bars recipes could be the perfect recipe for you.

If you wish to keep these in a cool dry place then they will last for 10 days. If you would like to freeze these homemade healthy Snickers bars then they will keep up to 2 months in the freezer.
Are these suitable for diets?
These bars include many ingredients that work well on a keto diet, so perhaps it would be good if you are loosely following keto and happy to make a few slip-ups!
If you choose vegan chocolate, then these can be made to be vegan really simply.
Are you following a high-protein diet? If so, then this could be a great snack to make, too!
If you are not following any diet then you can still enjoy these bars and just know you are being a little healthier. If the idea of being healthier appalls you then maybe try a different recipe entirely such as Snickerdoodle Blondies which look amazing and aren’t aimed at dieters at all!
Using alternative ingredients to make the healthy homemade Snickers bars
There are some easy changes you can make if you do not have certain ingredients available. They do change the diets the bars are suitable for but you could use butter instead of coconut oil if you prefer.
Another easy alternative is swapping the milk to whichever milk you have in the fridge. This would work just as well with cows milk or soya milk too.
You could even make these and give them to a friend as a surprise gift?

Ingredients
Nougat Layer:
160 g rolled oats

3 tbsp melted coconut oil
2 tbsp maple syrup
1/2 tsp salt
125 ml oat milk

3 tbsp peanut butter
12 dates
72 g melted coconut oil

Before preparing the other layer, put it in the fridge and rest for an hour.
For Caramel Layer:
-
When preparing the caramel layer, first check the dates. If the shells are hard, soak them in hot water. (it will help the caramel layer become more smoother and creamier)

Put all the ingredients into the blender except the peanuts and blend until it becomes creamy and sticky.
-
With a spoon, spread the caramel layer over the nougat layer that you have kept in the refrigerator.
-

I made these as a treat for my husband. He devoured his allowance really quickly!!! Fantastic recipe. We used almond milk instead of oat milk – worked fine.
