Step-by-step
- Sift flour evenly between two mixing bowls.
- Place rice syrup and coconut oil in a microwave-safe jug. Microwave for 20 seconds. Remove from the microwave and mix until the oil has melted. Add peanut butter and mix well. Now add egg and mix until well blended and glossy – this should make 1 cup.
- Add half a cup of the peanut butter mixture to each flour bowl. Add peanuts into one bowl, and sift cacao powder and chopped chocolate into the other.
- Mix each until dough forms.
- Shape doughs into two rectangular logs. Place peanut butter log on top of the chocolate log, pressing down gently.
- Cut logs into 1cm thick slices and using the side of a knife form rectangular bars. Place in an airtight container and freeze for 15 minutes.
- Melt coconut oil, add cacao powder and stevia granules. Mix well to combine. Dip each frozen Snickers bar in the chocolate and place back in the fridge or freezer to set.
- For a baked version:
- Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4.
- Add 2 teaspoons baking powder and ½ teaspoon of bicarb soda to flour before dividing between the two bowls.
- Cut logs into 1cm thick slices and form rough rounds. Place on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool on a wire rack. You can coat with chocolate (as per recipe) once cool or leave plain.
