No Bake Vegan Snickers Bar - A fail?
Is it possible to make a vegan snickers bar, without even adding additional sugar?
Well… no.
The bars I made are not tasting like Snickers. They lack off the typical creaminess and chewy caramel. But it’s still a really good recipe and I enjoy eating them. Due to the huge amount of dates it’s still a sweet treat!
I chanced the original recipe a bit and used my cacao nibs instead of cacao powder and added additional protein powder.
Check out the original recipe here.
