Tastier than Snickers: Sugar-Free, Healthy Dessert in 10 Minutes!

Tastier than Snickers: Sugar-Free, Healthy Dessert in 10 Minutes!

Ingredients:

• 170 g (6 oz) pitted dates
• 2 tbsp (30 g) peanut butter
• A pinch of salt
• ~100 g (1 cup) oat flour (you can grind oats to make your own)
• 60 g (2.1 oz) peanuts (fried and salted are great)
• 100 g (3.5 oz) dark chocolate

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dates:

• Soak 170 g of pitted dates in hot water for 2-4 minutes to soften them.
• After soaking, drain the water and place the softened dates in a blender or food processor.

2. Make the Date-Peanut Butter Mix:

• Add 2 tbsp of peanut butter and a pinch of salt to the dates.
• Blend well until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, forming a sticky paste.
• Divide the mixture into two portions: 60% will remain in the blender, and 40% will be transferred to a bowl for later use.

3. Add Oat Flour:

• To the larger portion of the date-peanut butter mixture (left in the blender), gradually add 100 g of oat flour.
• Blend until the mixture thickens and forms a dense, dough-like consistency.

4. Layer the Date Mixture:

• Take the smaller portion of the date mixture and press it into the bottom of a mold or tray to form a flat, even layer.
• Spread the oat flour-date mixture on top to create a second layer, pressing it down evenly.

5. Add Peanuts:

• Sprinkle 60 g of peanuts over the top of the layered mixture, pressing them gently into the surface to ensure they stick.

6. Freeze:

• Place the tray in the freezer for 30-40 minutes to firm up the layers.

7. Melt the Chocolate:

• While the layers are firming up, melt 100 g of dark chocolate using a double boiler or in the microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

8. Cover with Chocolate:

• Remove the tray from the freezer and pour or spread the melted chocolate over the top, covering the entire surface of the mixture.

9. Chill:

• Return the tray to the fridge for about 5 minutes, allowing the chocolate to harden.

10. Serve:

• Once the chocolate has set, remove the tray from the fridge.
• Cut the mixture into bar shapes and enjoy your homemade, sugar-free Snickers bars!
