This is the bomb!  Tastes so much better than store bought snickers.  Healthy, rich, delicious and filling, I’ve never come across anyone who hasn’t raved.

Nougat Layer

Line a baking tray with oven paper.

Process the dates, peanut butter and vanilla until smooth and creamy and the dates are completely broken down

Add the oat flour or almond meal a little at a time until it comes together in a ball and is firm enough to press into your baking tray

Press into tray

Caramel Layer

Add the dates, peanut butter, vanilla and salt to the processor (no need to wash first)

Process until completely smooth, it’ll resemble caramel, think and dense

Spread over the nougat layer
