I need to rename this blog to "Bad Pics of Good Food!" I can't take a decent picture to save my life but these clean eating Snickers-like bites are delicious to eat and super easy to make, even without a good photo.
SNICKERY BITES
5-minute Vegan Caramel (see recipe at link)
12-15 Medjool dates
1/3 cup salted peanuts, chopped
1/3 cup dark chocolate chips
1 TBSP coconut oil
Insructions
Make the caramel and set aside to cool.
Split dates open but don't cut in half. Remove pit.
When caramel has cooled but is not firm, pour about 1/3 cup into a dish and stir in the chopped peanuts.
Use a small spoon to fill the center of the dates with the caramel nut mixture.
Allow to firm up in the refrigerator.
Heat dark chocolate chips and coconut oil together until melted. Dip dates into the chocolate.
Refrigerate until set.
NOTES: The caramel makes way more than you need for one batch so you can cut in half. Or make a full batch and store the extra in a jar in the refrigerator. It is great drizzled on so many things!
The ingredients are approximate (except for the caramel ingredients). I just kind of wing it on the nuts and the dark chocolate chips. It depends on how nutty you want them and how much chocolate you want on them. I start with the amounts described and add more of either or both ingredients, depending also on how many dates I am filling.
If the caramel firms up before you get to use it in the dates, you can warm it to make it flow again.
