Easy Vegan Snicker Bars You Can Make At Home!

March 27, 2021 by Izabela

Everyone loves a good chocolate bar that they can sink their teeth into. Going vegan can make this satisfying moment a distant memory as there really aren’t any vegan chocolate bars out there that replicate the ones you remember. But who says you can’t make them from scratch at home?! These easy vegan snickers bars are so dang good you’ll be able to bring back those memories again!

What I love most about this recipe is that the caramel tastes just like a traditional recipe- its thick and chewy and you could probably even make them into little candies on its own. It’s so important to have a tasty caramel for a snickers recipe and this one (in my humble opinion) definitely has it!

This recipe works best if you have an 8×8 pan as you get the perfect ratio of cookie to caramel and chocolate. You could also use a traditional loaf pan as well but note that each layer will be thicker! (might not actually be a bad thing! LOL)

A few notes for this recipe:

  • flash freeze the dough for about 5 minutes before flattening it into the pan- the dough is a touch sticky but you don’t want to add any more flour otherwise it will crumble after baking
  • refrigerate the caramel and peanuts after pouring for about 30 minutes- the caramel may lighten in color, this is normal!
  • slice the sheet into bars and then flash freeze again for another 5 minutes before dipping into chocolate

Let’s get baking!

Vegan Snickers Bars

Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 45 minutes

Ingredients

Crust

  • 1/2 cup vegan butter, softened
  • 6 tbsp icing sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup flour (can use gluten free)

Caramel

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup coconut cream
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/4 cup vegan butter
  • 1 tbsp vanilla
  • 1 cup peanuts

Chocolate Coating

  • 2 cups vegan chocolate chips

Instructions

Crust

  1. Preheat oven to 300ºF. Line an 8×8 pan with parchment paper.

  2. In a bowl combine softened butter, icing sugar, vanilla until light and fluffy. (You can use a stand mixer if you wish but not necessary!)

  3. Add in flour and mix until a nice dough is formed.

  4. Flash freeze the dough for about 5 minutes.

  5. Press dough into prepared pan and poke holes to prevent air pockets from forming.

  6. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.

Caramel

  1. In a sauce pan mix granulated sugar, coconut cream and corn syrup and butter.

  2. Cook caramel without stirring and check temperature with a candy thermometer until it reads 250ºF. Then whisk in vanilla extract and pour immediately into pan with cookie base.

  3. Sprinkle peanuts evenly over caramel, then refrigerate until cool.

Chocolate Coating

  1. Remove pan from fridge and carefully lift parchment out to slice the square into bars.

  2. Flash freeze the bars for another 5 minutes so they are firm for dipping.

  3. Melt the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl in 30 second intervals until chocolate is completely melted.

  4. Place a bar on a fork and gently dip the bar into the chocolate. Tap off the excess and place on to a wire rack to harden.

  5. Repeat the last step until all bars are coated. Place bars in an airtight container and store in a cool dry place or in the fridge.

I am worthy and I have always been worthy. ✨ ⠀ I am worthy and I have always been worthy. ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
read that again over and over until you believe it to be true 😘🤍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
last week i chatted over stories about how i’m trying to navigate a life that is free from diet culture, free from the inner voice that tells me i’m not good enough, free from having an “end game” in physical wellness and SO many of you reached out feeling the same way. 😩🥺😭
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
here are the steps i’m taking to make it be true:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. removing any fitness content available for me to consume on my feed that promotes diet culture and not long term wellness (ie. lose weight in 12 weeks! drink this cocktail and get thin!) 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. moving my body with the mantra that physical activity makes me FEEL good, that there does not NEED to be a physical reason to move other than for mental well being knowing that i do really love how i feel after sweating! 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. reminding myself that i am WORTHY of nourishing food. that i have the capacity to make space to make myself healthy food that fill up my cup and allows me to be my best self. that being a busy mom and business owner is NOT AN EXCUSE to not eat or not eat well.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
i love connecting with my community here- if any of this resonates with you and you feel like you can share, i’d love to hear it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
tell me, is there anything else you would add to this list? 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
love you all, have a wonderful sunday! 🤍😘
