Mixed Snickers Slice
When I first became old enough to carry my own pocket money around, I’d often duck into the local convenience store and indulge in a Snickers bar. Those days are gone but the flavour infatuation remains. If you can totally relate, this slice is for you. Double ingredients for a 20cm square tin.
Serves 8-10
ingredients
Nougat Base
-
½ cup rolled oats or coconut flour
-
3 tbsp. almond meal
-
3 tbsp. cashew paste
-
¼ tsp. Vanilla Powder
-
3 tbsp. Coconut Oil, melted
Nutty Caramel Layer
-
½ cup rice malt syrup or Coconut Nectar
-
½ cup macadamia, almond or peanut butter or hulled tahini
-
1 cup mixed raw nuts (I like peanuts, almonds and macadamias)
Chocolate Layer

80g Dark Chocolate, melted
method
- Step 1 :Line a 16cm round cake tin with baking paper.
- Step 2 :To make the nougat base, process all ingredients in a food processor on low until a thick dough forms. Press the nougat into the base of the prepared tin, then keep in the fridge while you prepare the Nutty Caramel Layer.
- Step 3 :Place rice malt syrup or honey and nut butter or tahini in a small saucepan set over low heat, melt and stir to combine — do not boil.
- Step 4 :Add the nuts and mix well. Pour the nutty caramel over the nougat base and spread evenly, smoothing the top. Place back in the fridge for 15–20 minutes to set.
- Step 5 :When set, pour over melted chocolate, smooth the top and return to the fridge for a further 15 minutes to set.
- Step 6 :To serve, cut the slice into wedges. Store the slice or any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
