Ingredients

For the nougat

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 5 tbsp coconut flour
  • ¼ cup almond milk
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil melted

For the caramel layer

  • 1 cup dates pitted
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • ¼ cup peanut butter sub another nut or seed butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • cup peanuts sub almond or another nut, omit for nut free

For the coating

Instructions

  • To make the nougat layer, combine the almond flour and coconut flour. Whisk well to combine then add the almond milk, maple syrup, and coconut oil. Stir well to combine.
  • Using a small square mold (I use this), add about 1 tbsp worth of the filling to each mold space. Set aside.
  • To make the caramel layer, soak the dates in hot water for 10 minutes if hard. Strain and pat dry. Add the dates to a food processor and blend until a paste forms. Add the maple syrup, peanut butter, and vanilla and blend until caramel forms.
  • Spoon the caramel over the nougat in the mold, pressing down with the back of a spoon. Add peanuts on top of the caramel and lightly push down. Transfer the mold to the freezer and allow to freeze solid for a few hours, until totally solid.
  • Add the chocolate and coconut oil to a heat-safe glass bowl. Using a method of your choice (I prefer a double boiler method), melt the chocolate and coconut oil together until they are fully liquid. Allow to sit and cool for a few minutes.
  • Prepare a plate lined with parchment paper. Carefully remove the snickers filling cubes from the mold. Working with one at a time, place on a fork and hover over the chocolate bowl. Use a spoon coat with chocolate on all sides. Place on the plate and top with flakey salt.
  • Set in the fridge to allow the chocolate to set fully and the filling to soften before enjoying!
