If you’re looking for a vegan, no-bake chocolate treat that’s sweet, salty, and totally irresistible, these Mini Snickers bites are exactly what you need. Made with chocolate, dates, peanut butter, and crunchy peanuts, they’re perfect for a quick snack, dessert, or even a homemade gift. These treats are gluten-free, customizable, and freezer-friendly, making them ideal for anyone craving a healthier version of the classic Snickers bar.
Ingredients: Mini Snickers Bites
- Vegan chocolate chips
- Dates, pitted and cut into pieces
- Peanut butter
- Peanuts
- Coconut oil
- Flaky sea salt (optional)
- Ice cube mold
These ingredients are simple pantry staples, and the best part? You can adjust quantities based on what you have, so it’s a super flexible recipe. I love to use this BPA-free ice cube mold from Amazon that makes freezing and portioning super easy. I like to use Hu chocolate chips because they’re clean and simple, and I always look for peanut butter that only has peanuts and salt, with no added oils or sugar.
How to Make Mini Snickers Bites
Start by melting your chocolate with a teaspoon of coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each, for about 90 seconds total until smooth and melted. Pour a thin layer into each compartment of your ice cube mold, then place a date piece on top. Add a small dollop of peanut butter and sprinkle a few peanuts over it. Cover with more melted chocolate and finish with a pinch of flaky sea salt. Freeze until firm, then pop them out and enjoy your bite-sized sweet and salty treats!
Extra Tips
