Healthy Snickers Cups (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Oaty Base

01 - 1 cup creamy peanut butter
02 - 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
03 - 1 cup rolled oats
04 - 1/4 cup almond meal
05 - 1/2 tsp sea salt
06 - 1 tsp pure vanilla

→ Sweet Caramel Filling

07 - 1 packed cup of pitted medjool dates
08 - 4 tablespoons of your favorite milk
09 - 1/3 cup of unsalted roasted peanuts

→ Chocolate Layer

10 - 1 tablespoon peanut butter
11 - Flaky sea salt for finishing
12 - 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

# Instructions:

01 - Combine oats, almond meal, peanut butter, honey, vanilla, and salt in a mixing bowl. Mix well until totally blended. Line a muffin tray with paper liners and press the mixture firmly into 12 slots. Smooth the tops flat. Freeze for at least 2 hours until firm.
02 - Toss the dates and your choice of milk into a blender or food processor. Pulse and scrape the sides as needed until the consistency turns creamy and smooth, resembling caramel.
03 - Take the tray out of the freezer. Spread the caramel evenly over the oat bases in each slot. Press about 5 peanuts gently into the caramel layer. Put the tray back in the freezer for a solid hour.
04 - Melt chocolate chips with the tablespoon of peanut butter using a little pot over a very low heat. Stir until the mixture is silky smooth and shiny. Take it off the heat as soon as it's ready.
05 - Grab the tray from the freezer. Drizzle about 1-2 tablespoons of melted chocolate on each cup, spreading it evenly using the back of a spoon. Sprinkle some flaky salt on top while the chocolate is still soft. Return to the freezer for another hour until the chocolate completely hardens.
06 - When you’re ready to eat, let the cups sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly. Keep any extras in an airtight container in the freezer.

# Notes:

01 - These no-bake treats are a better-for-you twist on Snickers, made with wholesome and natural ingredients.
02 - To ensure it's vegan-friendly, make sure to choose dairy-free milk and chocolate chips.
03 - Switch peanut butter to almond or sunflower seed butter if you'd like a different taste or need an allergy-safe choice.
04 - For the best texture, always let frozen leftovers sit for 5 minutes before enjoying. Store in the freezer inside an airtight container.
