Healthy Snickers Bites (4 ingredients)
Say hello to your new favorite no-bake dessert! These Healthy Snickers Bites are made in an ice cube mold with just 4 simple ingredients. They taste just like a Snickers bar: sweet, salty, creamy, and delicious!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup vegan chocolate chips
- 4 medjool dates, pits removed
- ½ cup peanut butter
- 3 tbsp crushed peanuts
Instructions
- Prepare the dates: If your medjool dates aren't already pitted, remove and discard the pits. Cut each date into 4 equal pieces, giving you 16 pieces total. Set aside.
- Melt the chocolate: Add the chocolate chips to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted.
- Create the chocolate base: Spoon a small amount of melted chocolate into the bottom of each cavity of a silicone ice cube mold. Use the back of a spoon or a knife to spread the chocolate slightly up the sides.
- Assemble the bites: Place one piece of date into the bottom each mold. Top with a spoonful of peanut butter, then sprinkle with crushed peanuts. Finish with another spoonful of melted chocolate, spreading it to completely cover the filling.
- Freeze: Place the mold in the freezer for about 10 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm.
- Serve: Carefully pop the bites out of the silicone mold. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt, if desired, and enjoy!
Notes
- Use medjool dates: Medjool dates are soft, large, naturally sweet, and caramel-like, which is exactly what we want when mimicking the texture of Snickers!
- Add a little coconut oil to the chocolate: If your chocolate seems thick when melting it, add ½ teaspoon melted coconut oil to help thin it out.
- Use a silicone ice cube mold: This is key to easily removing the bites from the mold. If you don't have a silicone ice cube mold, you can use a mini silicone muffin pan, or line a small loaf pan with parchment paper, layer the ingredients, freeze, and slice into squares once firm.
- Storage: Store the bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months. I personally love eating them straight from the freezer - they have a chewy, candy bar-like texture!
