Instructions
Nougat Layer
If you don't have oat flour, make your own by blending oats until they turn into a fine powder.
Mix in the remaining nougat ingredients until thoroughly combined.
Spread the mixture in a parchment-lined dish or fill silicone bar molds evenly.
Freeze while preparing caramel.
Caramel Layer
Soak very dry dates in hot water for 10 minutes, then drain.
Blend softened dates with other caramel ingredients (except peanuts) to a creamy consistency.
Spread caramel over frozen nougat layer, then sprinkle with peanuts.
Freeze until hard.
Cut into Bars
Once set, remove from tray and cut into 12+ bars, or pop out from moulds.
Ensure bars are firm from chilling for easier handling.
Chocolate Coating
Melt chocolate using a double boiler or in the microwave (10-15 second bursts).
Skewer each bar and dip into the melted chocolate, then place on a rack to dry. Dip twice for extra coating.
Once chocolate is set and crisp, enjoy your homemade date Snickers.
