Let’s dive into this irresistible plant-based treat that’s sure to become your new favorite guilt-free candy.
✔ Medjool Dates (Pitted) – Naturally sweet and chewy, they create the perfect “caramel” base.
✔ Nut Butter of Choice – Use peanut butter for a classic Snickers flavor, or swap it with almond, cashew, or sunflower butter for a twist.
✔ Roasted & Salted Peanuts – Adds the perfect crunchy contrast! Prefer unsalted or raw? That works too.
✔ Vegan Chocolate Chips – I love using mini semisweet chocolate chips for a smooth, melty coating.
Making these delicious, healthier Snickers bites is quick and easy! Here’s how to do it:
If your Medjool dates aren’t already pitted, simply slice them open and remove the pits. I like to buy them pre-pitted to save time!
That’s it! Now, enjoy these rich, chocolatey, and naturally sweet Vegan Snickers bites—perfect for snacking, meal prep, or satisfying your sweet tooth guilt-free!
Refrigeration: Store your chocolate-covered dates in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. This keeps them fresh and perfectly chewy!
Freezing: Want to make a bigger batch? These freeze beautifully! Store them in a freezer-safe container or bag for up to 3 months. Let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before enjoying.
Room Temperature: If you prefer a softer texture, you can keep them at room temperature in a cool, dry place for 1-2 days, but they’re best stored chilled.
These homemade Snickers bites are great for meal prep—just grab one whenever your sweet tooth kicks in!
