Obviously, the typical idea that people have of non-vegan foods that are veganized is that they do not taste like the original. And sometimes it’s true, I’m not going to deny it. But there are foods that have exactly the same flavor also in the vegan version. And these easy vegan Snickers bites taste exactly like the real Snickers bar. The only difference is that they are healthier and cruelty-free!
How to prepare the easy vegan Snickers bites
The recipe of my easy vegan Snickers bites is not something new. Online you can find many variations of it. Often people tend to add some, in my opinion, unnecessary ingredients, like salt grains, coconut oil etc. While some other recipes ask for minimal use of chocolate. Well, I disagree with these ideas. For me this recipe works best by using only 4 ingredients: dates, peanuts, peanut butter and good amount of chocolate.
The preparation process is very easy: pit the dates, fill them with peanut butter and some peanuts, then cover with dark chocolate. Afterwards put your creations in fridge ad that’s it! In 30 minutes your easy vegan Snickers bites will be ready. I must admit that the first time I made these vegan Snickers bites I was quite skeptical, but they really do taste like the real thing! In case you love easy vegan sweets, I suggest you to try my fruit filled vegan chocolate candies. The preparation process is similar to the one of these easy vegan Snickers bites, but the outcome is very juicy and refreshing. But if you’re more into the famous chocolate bars, then you should definitely try my vegan Bounty bars. Also for the Bounty bars you’ll need only 4 ingredients!
So, if you are a big fan of the Snickers bar’s flavor, you definitely need to try this recipe, because these Snickers bites are:
-
vegan
- easy to make
- healthier than the original version
- chewy
- flavorful
- chocolaty
- comforting
- and simply yummy!

- cut open each date vertically on one side and take out the pit;
- using a pastry bag or a teaspoon, fill each date with peanut butter;
- place in each date 1 or 2 peanuts and lightly push the date to close it a bit;
- melt the dark chocolate either in a microwave (use low power to avoid burning the chocolate) or in a water bath (bain marie);
- with help of two forks, roll each date in the melted chocolate until the date is completely covered from all sides. Hold it on a fork for some seconds to let the extra chocolate drop off, then place the date on a plate covered with parchment paper;
- put all the chocolate covered dates in fridge for at least 30 minutes. Once the chocolate has hardened, the easy vegan Snickers bites are ready
* the indicated amount of peanut butter is for deglet nour type of dates; if using bigger dates, the necessary amount of the peanut butter may be increased
** the number of peanuts used in each date depends on the size of the date; if the dates are big enough, put inside them 2 peanuts, otherwise also 1 peanut is enough
