No-Bake Raw Vegan Snickers Bars – Sincerely Tori
So let’s talk about legendary recipes. I’d say most families have them. Whether it’s grandma’s famous pie recipe passed down from generation to generation, dad’s special lasagna, or your uncle’s secret sauce recipe. It’s funny how the really good ones have a way of sticking around. Well, after spending a few years now constantly trying new recipes and coming up with different combinations, I’d like to think I’ve created a few of those type. The ones that will be repeated over and over because they’re just that good. Of course, I’d be the first to admit that not all my recipe testing has been 5-star-restaurant worthy. There have definitely been some epic fails and if you don’t believe me you can just ask my family because clearly they don’t mind backing me up on this. A few days ago I was trying to prove this point about smoothies and when I asked my 15-year-old brother to validate what I was saying he was more than willing to tell how many times I’ve made some really bad smoothies. Haha, I know I asked him to agree with me but I was also like “You could have hesitated just a little bit before agreeing so fast.” Hey, at least he’s honest, right? But anyway, today isn’t about smoothies, it’s about these snickers bars that have had a healthy makeover. Out of all my best recipe creations, I’d say the homemade snickers bars I made a few years ago are still near the top of my family’s list. It’s just, I’ve been wondering if it were possible to create a healthy version of them and I’m so excited to share these because I was really happy with how they turned out. I think I nailed it with this one, guys, if I do say so myself. Even my pickiest, “veggie-allergic” siblings said they liked them. I mean, let’s be real, my honest brothers admitted they would never be able to choose them over the originals but that they were surprised something healthy was that good. So these bars don’t need any baking and there really are only a few ingredients in them. Now, I’m not a vegan, or a dietitian, or anything but, being in the food biz, I have read a little about different ways of eating so I at least know a little about the raw vegan thing. I’m not 100% sure what qualifies as “raw” but I’m pretty sure these do. In my book they’re raw. I mean, there’s no heat involved aside from melting the chocolate for the top and that should be done at the lowest temps possible anyway. The main thing is that these are a much better option to eating candy bars no matter who you are. They’re gluten free, dairy free, vegan, and yata-yata-yata, you get the point -> “healthy”. If you thought a healthified version of your favorite candy bar could never taste amazing, think again. These sneaky treats are quick and don't require any baking.
