I don’t know if you can recreate the taste of a Snickers bar with a raw food recipe… and frankly, I don’t think you’d want to.

Things like that are just WAY too sweet and unnatural for my taste buds these days.

This raw food recipe that Annmarie found is about as close to a stomach bomb as you can imagine.

She says they taste amazing, so take a look if you like sweets!

I’m going to pass

The Legally Raw Bar (we call it Raw Snickers!)

NOUGAT FILLING

1 cup almonds, unsoaked
1 cup cashews, unsoaked
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon water, or more if needed

CARAMEL

1 cup dates
1/4 cup maple syrup*
juice of one half lemon
1 tablespoon coconut oil
¼ teaspoon sea salt
1 cup water

MILK CHOCOLATE

1 cup cocoa powder
1 cup maple syrup*
½ cup coconut oil
¼ cup water

Soak dates in the water and lemon juice for an hour. Reserve soaking water. Meanwhile, make nougats.

In a coffee grinder, grind cashews into a fine powder. Remove. Process the almonds into a fine powder. Place nut powders in a large bowl. Add honey and water. Stir until mixture is a thick paste-like consistency. Form nougat into miniature candy pieces. Place nougat pieces on a plate and put in the freezer for an hour.

To make the caramel, process soaked dates, coconut oil and sea salt in a blender.

Using soaking water one tablespoon at time, blend until you achieve a thick creamy mixture. Spread caramel on top of nougat pieces and return the candy to the freezer while you make the chocolate. In a large bowl, whisk cocoa powder, maple syrup, coconut butter and water together until smooth and creamy. Pour chocolate over candy pieces and freeze an additional hour or until chocolate sets hard.

Yield: 15-20 candy pieces

Live Awesome!
