Vegan Snickers Cups (+Video)

Recipe for vegan Snickers Cups – filled with roasted peanuts and a creamy caramel sauce. These are so simple to make – you will be surprised!

I get the best ideas for new recipes when I’m riding my bike home from work late at night – when the streets are empty or when I’m in the shower. Let’s just call these vegan Snickers Cups a bike-idea :D

I’m sure you know the basic concept of chocolate cups from regular Peanut Butter Cups or my Bloody Cups for Halloween, but these are filled with a creamy caramel sauce and roasted & lightly salted peanuts! If you’ve been a fan of Snickers – then I’m sure you will love these; even if you don’t like Snickers (I never cared for it, really) – you’ll love these too ^.^ Well, at least, I hope you do!

These are really easy to make! The GIF above shows the basic steps of the process.

Ingredients

 

US CustomaryMetric

 

1x2x3x

• ▢ 1 1/2 cups vegan baking chocolate or chocolate chips
• ▢ 1 teaspoon coconut oil
• ▢ 1/4 cup raw peanuts (or roasted - in that case skip step 3)
• ▢ 1 pinch salt
• ▢ 2 tablespoons almond butter
• ▢ 2 tablespoons brown rice syrup*
• ▢ 1/2 tablespoon water

Instructions

 

• Place 9 muffin liners in a muffin pan.
• In a double boiler, melt the baking chocolate/chocolate chips and coconut oil, stir well. Fill about 1½ teaspoons of melted chocolate in the muffin liners; tilt them, so the chocolate spreads to the sides. Repeat for all the muffin liners and place the muffin pan into the fridge for a few minutes (until the chocolate hardens). Use about half the chocolate for this step.
• Roast the peanuts with a pinch of salt in a small pan on medium heat for about 3-4 minutes while stirring occasionally. Chop the peanuts in smaller pieces.
• Mix the almond butter with the rice syrup and water until it has reached a creamy consistency. Depending on the almond butter you're using, you might have use more or less water to achieve that.
• Once the first chocolate layer has set, divide the almond butter mixture into the muffin liners (place it in the middle) and sprinkle the peanuts on top.
• Use the rest of the melted chocolate to top the cups with. Tilt it a bit so the top is covered with the chocolate completely. Let it harden in the fridge for about 5 minutes.
• Once the chocolate is hard, carefully remove the cups from the cupcake liners and enjoy!

Notes

* If you don't have rice syrup at home, you could use agave syrup or maple syrup instead.
