    How to make these Vegan Snickers Bars?

    These Snickers bars are very easy to make, there are only 3 steps that you will need to do!

    STEP 1 - MAKE THE NOUGAT

    Line an 8x8 inch square pan with parchment paper. 

    Place the rolled oats into a food processor and process until mostly powdery. Add the coconut oil and maple syrup and peanut butter and process together into a paste. Spread the mix into the prepared pan.

    STEP 2- MAKE THE CARAMEL

    In a small pan or pot, add the coconut cream, brown sugar, and cornstarch. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring constantly while the coconut cream melts. The mixture will get bubbly and almost foamy. Lower the heat to a simmer and stir frequently for about 5 minutes. If you want salted caramel, add a pinch of salt. Let it cool slightly, then pour over the "nougat" layer. Sprinkle peanuts over the caramel and place in the freezer for about 1h

    Take it out from the freezer, then use a sharp knife to cut it into bar-sized pieces. Place them back in the freezer while you make the chocolate.

    STEP 3 - MAKE THE CHOCOLATE

    Melt the chocolate and coconut oil in the microwave or double boiler until melted and smooth. Let cool for 5 minutes. Cover/dip each bar in chocolate, return to the freezer to let the chocolate set up, about 10 minutes. Keep stored in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

    Tips for making the best Vegan Snickers Bars:

    1. Use good quality dark chocolate.
    2. Use brown sugar for the caramel because it gives so much deeper caramel flavor and color.

    Storing tip:

    You can keep these snickers bars covered in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

    *FODMAP tips:

    *All the ingredients used in this recipe are FODMAP friendly, however, As a general rule always read the labels of the ingredients that you use as there can be sneaky FODMAP’s in any product. To educate yourself on which foods are high in FODMAP’s I’d strongly recommend downloading Monash Unversity FODMAP Diet.

    *gluten-free tip:

    If you are celiac or highly sensitive to gluten, buy certified gluten-free oats. Oats are naturally gluten-free, however, depending on the manufacturing place and process there can be cross-contamination.
