It’s happening.

The ice cream Snickers of your youth is now fully within reach.

Five ingredients.

Vegan.

Naturally sweetened.

And it tastes like Ryan Gosling looks.

Friends, let’s do this.

This dream dessert truly is made with just 5 ingredients (I KNOW), starting with my Sea Salt Caramel Coconut Ice Cream as the base.

The good news is, any neutral-flavored vanilla or caramel-like vegan ice cream will do. I even think coffee or chocolate would be lovely here! Dream big, friends. Dream big.

Raw dates comprise the caramel (which is kind of magic because it doesn’t fully freeze in the freezer! I know.)

Salted peanuts come next because what would a Snickers be without the peanuts? So much salty crunch.

Lastly, a dark chocolate shell.

How could you go wrong?

You guys are going to LOVE these bars. They’re:

Creamy

Rich

Caramel-y

Peanutty

Crunchy

Chocolaty

& Frozen dessert perfection

This homemade version is shockingly close to the original, even with the 1-ingredient caramel! Trust me – I know. I ate like one every day in high school.

Get ready to fool your friends into thinking you’re a dessert wizard (because you totally are).
