They’re quick, they’re easy and they tend to be a bit healthier than baked treats. These “snickers” squares are the perfect chocolately peanut treat, we are obsessed 🤩⁠
⁠
Ingredients:

⁠
For the base:⁠

• 1 cup oat flour⁠
• 1/2 cup @unicornsuperfoods caramel slice protein powder⁠
• 1/3 cup smooth peanut butter⁠
• 1/3 cup maple syrup ⁠
• 4 tbsp unsweetened oat milk⁠

Caramel layer:⁠

• 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter⁠
• 1/4 cup maple syrup⁠
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted⁠
• 1 tsp vanilla extract⁠
• 2 cups vegan milk chocolate / dark chocolate⁠
• 2 tsp coconut oil⁠
• Handful of peanuts ⁠

⁠
Method:⁠

1. Line a 8x8 baking tin with parchment paper.⁠
2. To make the base, add the oat flour and protein powder to a bowl. Mix to combine. Add the peanut butter, maple syrup and oat milk. Once combined, press the base into the prepared baking tin. Make sure it’s a smooth even layer.⁠
3. Make the caramel layer by adding the smooth peanut butter, maple syrup, melted coconut oil (melt the coconut oil in a mug in the microwave for 40 seconds) and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth. ⁠
4. Pour the caramel onto the base layer.⁠
5. Place the baking tin in the freezer for 1 hour to allow the caramel to set.⁠
6. Add the chocolate and coconut oil to a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 35 second bursts, stirring in between until completely melted.⁠
7. Pour the melted chocolate on top of the caramel layer. Quickly add the peanuts on top of the chocolate as the chocolate will begin to set. ⁠
8. Place the baking tin back into the freezer for 1 hour. ⁠
9. Once set, cut the bars as small or as big as you like.
