RECIPE:

High Protein Raw Snickers Bars
From Celeste Wilson, POPSUGAR Food

Servings: 18
Total Time: 45 Minutes
Calories per Serving: 212
Protein per Serving: 10.0g

For the base layer:
1 cup smooth peanut butter
1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
3/4 cup shredded coconut
5 dates, pitted
1 teaspoon maple syrup
1 teaspoon coconut oil

For the caramel layer:
7 dates, pitted
1/4 cup smooth peanut butter
3 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
1/4 teaspoon salt

For the topping:
1 cup whole raw peanuts
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon coconut oil

Line a 7"" x 11"" pan with parchment paper and set aside.
Into a food processor add the ingredients for the base layer, peanut butter, protein powder, shredded coconut, dates, maple syrup, and coconut oil, and mix until smooth. Remove filling and press into the parchment paper lined pan. Freeze for 5 minutes to set the layer.
Clean your food processor and then add dates, peanut butter, almond milk, and salt and blend until well combined. Evenly spread the caramel layer over the base layer.
Cover the caramel layer with an even layer of peanuts, lightly pressing them into the bar. Cool the bars in the refrigerator for 5 minutes.
While the snickers bar is cooling, use a double boiler to melt chocolate and coconut oil until smooth. Pour the melted chocolate on top of the snickers bars and then refrigerate for 30 minutes to set completely.
Remove from the refrigerator and slice.

Notes:

You can substitute almond butter and whole almonds for anyone who has a peanut sensitivity.
The maple syrup can be omitted for a lower sugar option.
These raw snickers bars can be stored in the freezer for up to a week.
