Which dates to choose to make homemade snickers?
The art of this recipe lies in the choice of the ingredients, especially the dates. The dates used should be soft and sweet at the same time. It is also important to choose good quality dates!
For these homemade snickers, I ordered my dates from Dattelmann. I chose Sukari Soft pitted dates but you can also choose Medjool dates which are excellent! Dattelmann also offers many other types of dates as well as dried fruits and vegan butters.

Drain the Sukari dates. Then pour them into a bowl, add the vegetable milk and almond butter. Mix to obtain a vegan caramel.
Spread the caramel on the cookie base. Place in the freezer for 2 hours.
After two hours, melt the chocolate and coconut oil in a double boiler. Then take the glass mould out of the freezer. Cut out 16 bars of equal size.
