Ok so I know it’s a pretty bold claim to call these Snickers healthy. I’m not insane, I know they can’t take the place of a salad, though if it were up to me they would be a complete food group. They are, alas, miles, kilometres, acres, oceans healthier than the packaged Snickers you and I can pick up at any service station or supermarket.
Yes, these healthy snickers are still a dessert. They’re sweet and decadent, so don’t be fooled into thinking you can have the whole batch in one sitting. Two, maybe. All of them, eeerm, no.
It’s made with all natural ingredients, and that includes the peanut butter. I used the crunchy peanut butter from Pic’s, which is one of my favourite brands that uses high-oleic peanuts from Australia which don’t seem to go rancid. Rancid nuts are a big no-no. Also, only two ingredients. TWO! Peanuts and salt. No sugar, no palm oil, nada. Make sure the peanut butter you buy and use, no matter where in the world you live, is as simple as can be.

These healthy snickers look delicious! Esp the coconut caramel.
I did sneakily eat some of the caramel with a spoon as I was making it! X
I just had to say, that yes, the snickers look amazing…..BUT more importantly I was in Hawaii this past week and went to a market that had Pic’s peanut butter–I got a jar and brought it back to the hotel (kind of pb obsessed) and after first bite, I told my husband I had to get another jar to bring back home to Arizona! It’s so so good–Unfortunately not so easy for me to get where I live but I will figure out a way!
We need to get them to start their peanut butter world takeover soon! They’re just coming over to the UK, hopefully the USA is next! I think you might be able to order online, if not i’d email them and get them to sort it out =) http://picspeanutbutter.com/
These look AMAZING! I can’t wait to try this. Is creamed coconut like coconut butter?
Hi Marina! They’re similar, though creamed coconut is the one you can get in a box and softens when heated!
It doesn’t say what the water is for!?? I used it in the caramel mixture – I hope that is right!? 🙂
Yes it is for the caramel mixture, apologies if it wasn’t clear =)
