HEALTHY SUGAR-FREE MARS BARS

Healthy Sugar-free Mars Bars are super delicious and a great alternative to real ones. Healthy Mars Bars are creamy, soft and filled with sweet caramel. It took time to figure out the best combination. Mars Bars are quick to make, but most of the time takes for the freezing process. Healthy Mars bars are sugar-free, white wheat-flour-free, and vegan, they are much healthier than store-bought and you can make them at any time, whenever you want something really sweet, or if you are a big fan of real Mars and other bars, then this recipe will be for you.

TIME: 15 min preparation, ~ 4 hours to freeze | Servings: 8

Ingredients:

Cream:

1. 180 g dates (soft or soaked for 10 minutes in hot water)
2. 80g coconut cream/milk (in the can and only the hard part)
3. 1 tsp cocoa
4. 100g cream cheese (vegan, lactose-free – optional)

Caramel:

1. 130g dates 
2. 60ml plant milk
3. 1 tbsp peanut butter
4. 1/4 tsp salt

Top layer:

1. 100g sugar-free dark chocolate (vegan, lactose-free – optional)
2. 2 tbsp coconut oil

Instructions:

Cream:

1. Blend the dates, then add coconut cream/milk, cocoa, and cream cheese. Combine all
2. Smooth out the mixture in a parchment square or rectangular pan. If the pan is too large and the base looks very thin, then just simply squeeze it into a smaller area to get thicker. The cream base needs to be ~ 1 -2 cm.
3. Put the pan in the freezer for 2 hours.

Caramel:

1. Blend the dates with milk, salt, and peanut butter until a creamy caramel mixture is formed. This can take time if the blender is not high-speed power enough or dates are not so soft.
2. After 2 hours smooth out the caramel mixture on a cream base.
3. Put the pan in the freezer for 2 hours.
4. Cut the base in bars.

Top layer:

1. Melt the chocolate with coconut oil at a low temperature and spread over the bars. I used a teaspoon to cover the bar from every side. Place in the freezer for 1-2 hours.
