How to Make No-Bake Snickers Ice Cream Bars

To make the caramel, combine the coconut milk and brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens and browns, about 20-30 minutes.

Remove from heat, then add the coconut oil, vanilla and salt. Stir until well incorporated.

Place the mixture into the fridge to chill for about 20 minutes to thicken, then place onto the counter until you're ready to use it.

Place the medjool dates in boiling water for about 20 minutes to soften.

Remove the dates from the boiling water and blend with 4 tablespoon of water.

Add the oat flour and crushed peanuts to the blender and blend again until you create a loose dough.

Press this mixture into a single layer in the bottom of a baking dish. Allow this base layer of peanut mixture to rest in the fridge for 10-15 minutes.

Allow the ice cream to rest on the counter for about 5-10 minutes to soften enough that you can spoon it easily.

When the base layer is set, spoon the ice cream over the base layer and smooth it out neatly.

Place the baking dish into the freezer for about 20 minutes to firm up.

Remove the baking dish from the freezer when the ice cream is set.

Add the caramel layer on top of the ice cream, then return the baking dish back in the freezer for about 10 minutes to firm up.

Melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil together in a small dish.

Remove the baking dish from the freezer and carefully cut the layered dessert into bars about 1 inch wide.

Spoon the melted chocolate over each of the bars, coating as much of the bars as you can. Decorate with additional peanuts, if desired.

Place the bars in them in the freezer for about 10 minutes or until the chocolate sets.

Serve frozen.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Do You Melt Chocolate?

There are a few different ways that you can melt chocolate. The most common way is to use a double boiler. This is a pot that has boiling water in it, with a bowl placed on top. The chocolate is placed in the bowl, and as the water boils, it melts the chocolate.

Another way to melt chocolate is to use the microwave. Place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, and heat it in 30 second increments, stirring after each one. This will prevent the chocolate from burning.

Finally, you can melt chocolate on the stovetop. Place the chocolate in a saucepan over low heat, and stir constantly until it is melted.

No matter which method you choose, be sure to melt the chocolate slowly and stirring often. This will prevent the chocolate from burning.

Can You Make These Snickers Bars Peanut-Free?

Yes! Snickers Ice Cream Bars can easily be made peanut-free. Just omit the peanuts from the recipe, or substitute them with another type of nut - or even sunflower seeds if you're wanting the flavor, but not the allergens related to peanuts.

If you want to get away from the flavor of peanuts altogether, but still want that crunch, I recommend using pretzels (I know! So random!) in place of the nuts altogether.

Do You Have to Use Caramel?

No, you don’t have to use caramel in these Snickers Ice Cream Bars. However, it does add a delicious layer of flavor. If you don’t want to make your own caramel, you can simply melt soft caramel candies and use that.

Tips for Storing No-Bake Snickers Ice Cream Bars

Snickers Ice Cream Bars can be stored in the freezer for up to two months. Just be sure to wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, so they don’t get freezer burn. When you’re ready to eat one, simply remove it from the freezer and let it thaw for a few minutes.
