These indulgent homemade candy bars are surprisingly rich and decadent in their deep flavor profile. Indulge in the velvety smooth union of naturally sweet peanut butter caramel, crunchy roasted peanuts, and richly decadent chocolate, a match made in heaven. As you expertly craft each bite-sized treat, you simply combine rich, velvety chocolate by stirring it thoroughly, followed by spreading it evenly across a pan. Next, you meticulously layer the creamy peanut butter caramel atop the chocolate, ensuring an harmonious balance of flavors. Finally, you seal the deal with a generous coating of chocolate and a sprinkle of crunchy peanuts, resulting in a deliciously indulgent delight. Pop this mixture into the freezer for approximately one hour to achieve a solid consistency, or expedite the process by chilling it for about 15 minutes to yield a gooey, sticky, and indulgently melty treat that simply melts in your mouth.
Vegan Peanut Butter Caramel Chocolate Candy Bars
Peanut butter caramel chocolate candy bars require a few key ingredients to create the perfect treat.
For the Chocolate:
- 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
- Six tablespoons of high-quality cocoa or cacao powder.
- 4 tablespoon maple syrup
- A pinch of salt
For the Peanut Butter Caramel:
- Twenty Medjool dates, pitted or, alternatively, regular dates softened by soaking them in 1/4 cup of hot water for 5 to 10 minutes.
- 2 tablespoon peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon of almond milk (or another non-dairy milk alternative)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- A pinch of salt
- Approximately 6-7 tablespoons of plain roasted peanuts, finely ground
Melted and creamy vegan peanut butter caramel sauce coats a rich and velvety chocolate bar, all wrapped up in a crunchy peanut butter crust for the ultimate treat.
- Line a standard 5-by-7 inch loaf pan with waxed paper or parchment paper for effortless removal and cleanup. Combine the chocolate in a small bowl and coat the bottom of the loaf pan with half of the mixture. Set aside in the freezer.
- All ingredients for the peanut butter caramel are combined in a food processor, blended until a silky smooth consistency is achieved. This process may take a few minutes; subsequently, ensure you scrape down the sides of the container one or two times to achieve thorough mixing.
- Divide the caramel in two equal portions and generously spread one half evenly across the surface of the chocolate. Sprinkle on the peanuts. Carefully spread the remaining half of the rich, velvety caramel sauce evenly over the crunchy peanuts. Assemble the dessert by spreading the remaining half of the chocolate evenly over the caramel layer. Allow the mixture to sit undisturbed for a minimum of 15 minutes or up to an hour for optimal results. To achieve optimal outcomes, consider cutting after a 60-minute freeze.
