Vegan Snickers Bars

These vegan Snickers bars are the ultimate combination of creamy, nutty, and chocolatey. It's all without refined sugar! The base is a chewy blend of oats and coconut, topped with a silky pumpkin-and-peanut butter caramel made extra smooth with almond milk. Roasted peanuts bring crunch, while the glossy agar-cocoa topping gives them that classic Snickers finish.

This recipe makes 12 chunky bars - just the right size for when you want a satisfying sweet snack. They’re gluten-free, plant-based, and rich in fiber and healthy fats, making them as nourishing as they are indulgent.

Keep them chilled in the fridge for a soft caramel bite, or pop them in the freezer if you prefer a firmer texture.
