Homemade snickers: dates, peanuts and chocolate—the healthy snack with no added sugar
We all know and love the delicious Snickers chocolate bars, with their great peanut and chocolate flavor! Their only drawback? The large amount of sugar, which makes them a bit of a guilty pleasure... But don’t worry! We’ve prepared a recipe for a healthy, vegan, gluten-free snack with no added sugar, with all the flavors we love in the famous chocolate bar! As well as being quick to make and no-bake, this recipe requires just 4 ingredients (or even 3 if you make the peanut butter yourself). It also makes an excellent pre-workout snack!
