White Chocolate Protein Snickers

White Chocolate Protein Snickers Bar

 with Avocado Butter Caramel

These bad boys are healthy AND bigger than a regular Snickers bar *smug face* (have you noticed too how we our totally being robbed with tiny confectionery these days?!?! Regular bars are now the same size as fun bars :(  Scoundrels! )  I used avocado spread which can be bought in Tesco or Waitrose but you can also sub this for some grass-fed butter or coconut oil.

YEILDS 4 BARS

Ingredients:

Base:

• 1/2 cup GN white chocolate peanut butter
• 1 scoop vanilla whey
• 2 tsps GN coconut flour
• 2 tbsp agave
• 1 tbsp coconut oil
• Pinch of Himalayan salt

For the caramel sauce:

•  1/8 cup avocado spread (can be subbed with grass-fed butter or coconut oil)
• 1/8 cup agave 
• 1 heaped tbsp smooth cashew butter
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of Himalayan salt

Topping:

• 25g unsalted peanuts
• 100g low sugar white chocolate

METHOD

Add all the base ingredients to a food processor and blitz at 40 second intervals till reaching a smooth dough. Transfer the dough to a pan lined with parchment paper and shape into a rectangle. (This will be cut into 4 bars later) and freeze. 

To make the avocado caramel sauce pour all the sauce ingredients into your food processor again and pulse a few times till fully blended. Remove the bars from the freezer and spread the caramel sauce on top with a spatula and sprinkle with peanuts. Put the bar mixture back into the freezer for 20-30 minutes. 

Melt 100g of white chocolate in a microwave safe bowl - heating for 30 seconds at a time and taking out to stir.  Repeat till all the chocolate is melted.  Cut the dough into four bars and split them up on the paper. Next pour the white chocolate over the bars spreading it so that it covers the sides too. Leave to sit for 15 minutes before tucking it!
