What makes these Snickers Bars Vegan and super healthy?
Raw cacao: is made by cold-pressing un-roasted cacao beans. The process keeps the living enzymes in the cacao and removes the fat (cacao butter).
Cocoa looks the same but it’s not. Cocoa powder is raw cacao that’s been roasted at high temperatures. Sadly, roasting changes the molecular structure of the cacao bean, reducing the enzyme content and lowering the overall nutritional value.
If you find difficult find the raw cacao just use the cocoa powder, the taste will be the same but less healthy proprieties.
Coconut Cream & Flour: these two are the keys to the perfectly nougat layer while also keeping it soft and sturdy for a homemade snickers bar! The coconut flour helps to absorb some liquid from the coconut cream and keeps the nougat layer light and airy without any oven needed!
Peanut Butter & Peanuts: I use peanut butter for the nougat layer, and obviously some peanuts to top on the caramel date sauce! This gives it that classic snickers bar feel, while also being healthy and vegan!
Dates: The necessary ingredient you need for the vegan date caramel sauce. It’s insanely easy, and just incredible.
CBD oil: is an edible way of using CBD and reap the health benefits, such as, anti- inflammatory, potentially anxiety-reducing properties, without the traditional mind-alteringhigh associated with marijuana. If you aren’t familiar with CBD oil, it is one of the compounds found in the cannabis sativa plant. We love Raised Spirit’s Full Spectrum CBD Oil

Add first the Nougat layer, then add a layer of caramel and peanuts, and let set in
the freezer at 1 hour.
Slice nougat layer into 12 bars and place the bars onto a baking sheet lined with
parchment paper.
Place back into the freezer.
Once the chocolate is ready, take out the chocolate bar and dip in chocolate, then
let set the chocolate and leave defrost in the fridge, at least 2 hours.

Tips:
⁃ Make sure the Popsicle is fully frozen before dipping in the chocolate as it will help to quickly set the chocolate shell.
