Instructions
- Start by making base layer. Blend together the 1 cup of dates in a food processor until a ball is formed.

- Line a 8x4 loaf pan with parchment paper. Spread the base layer evenly into pan, using a spatula.
- Make your peanut butter caramel layer by blending together all ingredients in the same food processor.
- To the same loaf pan, spread the peanut butter date caramel evenly with the spatula.
- Add your chopped peanuts on top and press lightly into the caramel layer.
- Place bars in the freezer for a few hours to solidify. I left mine in the freezer overnight!
- Cut into 7 bars and dip into melted chocolate + Place bars onto a parchment lined baking tray and move back to freezer to harden. Store in the fridge or freezer for healthier, homemade raw snickers bars!
