Recipe for healthy snickers balls. There was a period a few years ago when you almost couldn’t visit a blog or an Instagram profile without being thrown pictures and recipes of various date balls or healthy(er) snickers straight into your head. I remember how my recipe for Date Balls with Licorice was the most popular recipe on the blog for a long time, and how every weekend I made my healthier snickers bars . Maybe it got a bit overwhelming with the whole thing, but one thing you can’t run away from. So it just tastes really good and is a nice alternative to sweets and cake.
Recipe for healthy snickers balls
Let’s fast forward to these healthy snickers balls. A classic snickers consists of caramel, peanuts and chocolate, and that’s almost what these are. Just in a slightly healthier version with dates, peanuts, peanut butter and dark chocolate. The first three ingredients are blended into a cohesive mass that is rolled into balls and dipped in dark chocolate. It gives a sweet, confection-like ball with a hint of salt and crunch from the chocolate.

Healthy and delicious snack with dates
I often turn to these snickers balls when I need a slightly healthier afternoon snack or dessert in the evening with a cup of tea. Dates of course contain sugar, but it is a better form of sugar that does not affect blood sugar etc. so much. I don’t have to be smart about that, but I now want to think that this is a healthier snack than various candies and cases.
I always make a big batch so I have them in the fridge for those little hunger pangs. They can last for several weeks and are perfect for satisfying the hunger for deliciousness. I can almost promise you will be a fan. A healthier snickers that is also super easy to make? You get that here.
