Morina Gael The classic candy bar just got an upgrade with plants. If you love the mix of gooey, crunchy peanuts and rich chocolate but you want to skip the dairy and bad stuff this is your new favorite snack. These vegan chocolate peanut protein bars have the taste as a Snickers bar but they are made with good ingredients that will actually help you throughout the day. Here is why you will love this recipe.
The Power of Five Good Ingredients
This recipe is great because it is simple. It does not have a lot of stuff like commercial candy bars do. You only need a few things: natural peanut butter, pure maple syrup, plant-based vanilla or chocolate protein powder, roasted peanuts, and dairy-free dark chocolate chips. This shows you do not need a lot of ingredients to make something delicious.
The Smart Protein That Actually Fills You Up
These bars are different from candy because they will keep you full for a long time. They have plant-based protein powder in them which gives you a lot of protein in every bite. This makes them a great snack after a workout or in the middle of the day when you need a pick-me-up. The protein helps keep your blood sugar stable.
Getting That Perfect Snickers Texture
The hardest part about making protein bars at home is getting the texture.. This recipe gets it right. When you mix the peanut butter with the sweetener and protein powder it makes an chewy dough that is just like a Snickers bar. It is dense. Feels good in your mouth.
The Crunch of Roasted Peanuts
A Snickers bar needs to have crunch. This recipe does too. Before you add the chocolate you press some peanuts into the top of the bar. This gives it a contrast to the sweet chocolate and makes it feel like a real candy bar.
A Rich Dairy-Free Chocolate Coating
To finish the bar you pour some melted dairy- dark chocolate over the top. This seals in the peanuts. Makes the bar feel like a real treat. The dark chocolate is rich and a little bitter which balances out the sweetness.
No Baking Needed
One of the things about this recipe is that you do not need to bake it. You just press the peanut butter mixture into a pan add the nuts and chocolate and put it in the freezer. In than thirty minutes the bars are ready to eat. You can cut them into squares with no mess.
Better for You Than Candy
These bars are much better for you than regular candy. They have fats from the peanuts, antioxidants from the dark chocolate and clean protein. They satisfy your tooth and help you stick to your fitness goals.
Easy to Store
Because these bars do not have any stuff in them they need to be kept cold.. This is actually a good thing because it makes them a refreshing treat. You can store them in the fridge for up to two weeks or in the freezer for, up to three months. Whenever you need a snack you have a healthy and delicious option.
