While this healthy snickers recipe certainly got its inspiration from the commercial Snickers bar, the two are world’s apart in many ways. For starters, my homemade snickers bars are completely dairy-free, gluten-free, and don’t contain any processed sugar. They’re also rich in flavor without being rich in carbohydrates, making this an ideal dessert or sweet treat option for anyone on a low-carb diet.
Enjoy these no-bake snickers bars as an easy midweek dessert with a scoop of dairy-free ice cream or as a sweet treat whenever those candy bar cravings hit!
Raw Snickers Slice or Raw Snickers Bars?
The good news is that this vegan snickers recipe can be either!
To keep it as a healthy snickers slice simply complete all three layers while it’s still in the tray. Then you can cut it into any shape you like for serving!
Alternatively, to make vegan snickers bars, you can cut the base and nougat layer into bar shapes prior to drizzling with dark chocolate.
Ingredients
The ingredients list for this no-bake snickers slice is simple – only 7 are required! Unlike some other raw vegan snickers recipes, there are no dates needed either. Here’s what you’ll need:
Almond Flour – you can make your own by processing whole raw almonds for a minute or two in your food processor or blender.
Maple Syrup – 100% pure maple syrup is best.
Coconut Oil
Dark Chocolate – either chips or solid. Either are fine, just make sure it’s vegan.
Peanut Butter – 100% peanuts, and smooth is best.
Roasted Peanuts – roasted brings a lovely flavor, but you can opt for raw if you prefer.
Salt
How to Make Homemade Snickers Bars or Slice
Start by assembling the base layer.
Mix all the ingredients for the base layer together by hand.
Transfer into a lined 8″ square tray and press down firmly into the base.
Pop the tray into the freezer while making the nougat layer.
Oh my gosh… This was perfect. I made this today for my kids, and of course for me (the biggest Snickers fan) and it came out delicious. The best dessert ever!
The layers are perfectly chewy and the chocolate coating adds just the right amount of richness. I love that they’re healthier than the store-bought version but still tastes good. Definitely making these again!
When I found this recipe I ran to the store for the ingredients. My hubby loves Snicker’s bars and I thought I would treat him to your version, and something homemade. I don’t eat peanut butter , but he says to thank you for this recipe. He loved them.
It’s wonderful that you went the extra mile to make something special for your husband. Please tell him I’m honored by his thanks and I hope these bars made his day just a little bit sweeter. Thanks Edith!
The nougat layer is so creamy and smooth. It’s the perfect contrast to the crunchy peanuts and rich chocolate. Thinking of adding some almond extract to the base next time for a fun twist.
Such a great alternative to commercial candy bars. The layers are so easy to make and they come together perfectly. No need for fancy equipment or culinary skills!
The vegan bars were so chewy and satisfying without being too heavy. My kids also loved them and I barely had time to grab one for myself! Definitely making another batch soon.

Adding almond extract sounds like a brilliant idea! I hope you can share how this new variation turns out. Thanks Alma!
