Step 1: Put the dates in water.

Put the seedless dates in a bowl, add water to cover them, and leave them to soak for 2-4 minutes. This makes the dates softer, so they can be easily mixed into a smooth paste.

Step 2: Mix the dates together.

Put the dates that have been soaked into a blender. Put 2 tablespoons of peanut butter and a little bit of salt.

Mix until smooth, making sure to scrape the sides to mix everything well. The date mix will be the sweet and sticky bottom for the bars, instead of the caramel layer in regular Snickers.

Step 3: Put in some oatmeal.

Separate the mixed dates into two parts: one bigger part (around 60%) and a smaller part (around 40%).

Put 1 cup (90 g) of chopped oatmeal into the bigger part (60%) in the blender.

Mix until everything is well mixed together. The oats will make the base layer chewy and satisfying, as well as help hold it together.

Step 4: Create the Foundation

Get a sheet of parchment paper and lay it flat on a surface.

Put the oatmeal and date mixture on the baking paper in a rectangular shape. Press it firmly with your hands or a spatula to make a solid bottom layer.

Step 5: Put on the layer of peanuts.

Spread the rest of the date mixture (without oatmeal) evenly on top of the oatmeal layer.

Sprinkle 2.1 ounces (60 g) of salted peanuts on top of the date mixture and press them down gently to make them stick. The salty peanuts give a nice crunch and complement the sweet dates.

Step 6: Stop moving.

Put the layered mixture in the freezer for 30 to 40 minutes. This helps to make the layers firmer, so they can be cut into bars more easily.

Step 7: Get the Bars Ready.

After it's frozen, take the mixture out of the freezer.

Cut the mixture into bars using a sharp knife, making them the size you prefer. To make even bars, you can slice them into rectangles that are approximately 1 inch wide and 3 inches long.

Step 8: Cover with chocolate.

Melt 3.5 ounces (100 g) of chocolate in a bowl that can be used in the microwave. Heat it for 30 seconds at a time, stirring each time until it is completely melted and smooth. You can also melt the chocolate using a double boiler.

Dip each bar in the melted chocolate, using a fork to cover all sides. Allow the extra chocolate to drip off before putting the bars on a tray lined with parchment paper.

Put the bars in the refrigerator for 5 minutes so the chocolate can harden. This process makes sure the bars have a shiny finish and do not melt at room temperature.

Step 9: Offer the food.

Enjoy your homemade and healthy Snickers-style bars! To enjoy them at their best, eat them cold. If you prefer a softer texture, leave them at room temperature for a few minutes.

Advice for Making Healthy Snickers Bars

Storage: Keep the bars in a sealed container in the fridge for a week. You can also freeze them for a month and then thaw them in the fridge before eating.

Customization: You can try different types of nuts or nut spreads to add variety. Almond spread, cashew spread, or even sesame paste can give a special touch to the recipe.

Chocolate Choices: If you are avoiding dairy or are vegan, opt for dark chocolate without dairy. You can also add a little sea salt on top of the chocolate for an extra tasty touch.
