Raw Snickers Bar (V/GF) - The Mindful Hapa (2024)

Raw bars are my favorite type of recipe because you don’t need to turn on your oven. AKA perfect for the coming Spring/Summer months.

And to start off your raw bars recipe search, I’ve got these homemade Raw Snickers! No refined sugar and sweetened with a homemade peanut butter date caramel. Three layers. Three steps. One food processor.

How to make a homemade snickers recipe?

For this easy raw bar recipe, you make a chewy nut + oat base and a homemade caramel sauce. You then layer these in a parchment-lined loaf pan with some chopped peanuts. Lastly, stick the pan in the freezer to harden before cutting your bars and dipping in melted chocolate.

Raw bar recipe steps

Step one: the base layer is a blend of oats, almond, peanuts, peanut butter, and pitted dates that comes together in your food processor.

Step two: the middle layer (aka the best layer), is a homemade peanut butter date caramel. Using your food processor, you blend together pitted dates, coconut cream, vanilla, and peanut butter until you get a perfectly creamy peanut butter caramel.

Step three: the third layer is the easiest! Just use your fingers and smush in some chopped roasted/unsalted peanuts.

Step four: for the final step, you leave the bars in the freezer to harden, at least one hour or overnight. You then cut into seven pieces (or whatever quantity/size you want) and dip in a combo of melted chocolate + coconut oil.
