How to Make Collagen Snickers Bars Recipe

Step 1: Prepare the Cookie Layer

Start by mixing the dry ingredients for the crust in a medium bowl: collagen powder, coconut flour, and monkfruit sweetener. This combination forms a protein-rich base with just the right softness and structure. Next, add the almond milk and use your hands to knead the dough gently until it comes together. It should be sticky but manageable—if it feels too soft, sprinkle in a little more coconut flour, about half a tablespoon at a time. Press this dough evenly into a parchment-lined pan to create the perfect foundation for your bars.

Step 2: Make the Peanut Caramel Layer

In a separate bowl, combine the sugar-free pancake syrup with smooth peanut butter, stirring until smooth. Gradually stir in collagen powder, one scoop at a time, mixing vigorously for at least one full minute. This turns the mixture thick and glossy, resembling a translucent caramel, which is key for that classic Snickers taste. Toss in the roasted peanuts and stir until each one is generously coated. Spread this sticky peanut caramel layer evenly over your cooled crust, then pop the pan into the freezer for about 60 to 90 minutes until it’s completely firm.

Step 3: Chocolate Covering

Once the bars have chilled and solidified, slice them into about five generous bars. Melt your chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl using 20-second bursts, stirring frequently to avoid burning. For a slimmer, silkier chocolate coating, you can add a teaspoon of coconut oil as you stir. Dip each bar carefully into the melted chocolate, ensuring full coverage. If you like, sprinkle some coarse salt over the tops to highlight the sweetness and add complexity. Let the chocolate set at room temperature or in the fridge before indulging.

Garnishes

Elevate your bars by garnishing with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt or crushed roasted peanuts on top. This little touch brings out the contrasting flavors of sweet and salty, enhancing every mouthful. You can also drizzle a bit of extra peanut butter or melted chocolate on top for a stunning presentation perfect for sharing.

Side Dishes

These bars are delicious on their own, but they also pair wonderfully with a cold glass of almond milk, a cup of coffee, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent dessert. If you’re serving these at a party, consider fresh berries or sliced bananas on the side to add a refreshing balance.

Creative Ways to Present

For a fun twist, serve the Collagen Snickers Bars Recipe cut into bite-sized squares on a pretty platter sprinkled with chopped peanuts and drizzle some melted chocolate over the top. Wrap individual bars in parchment paper and tie with twine for a charming homemade gift. You could even layer broken pieces into yogurt or smoothie bowls for a crunchy, peanut buttery surprise.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

Your Collagen Snickers Bars will keep best when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They maintain their texture and flavor nicely for up to 7 days, making them an ideal grab-and-go snack for busy days.

Freezing

If you want to preserve these bars longer, freezing is a fantastic option. Place them in a sealed container or wrap each bar tightly in plastic wrap and foil. Stored this way, they can last up to 3 months and thaw quickly when you want a treat.

Reheating

Since the bars are best enjoyed cold or at room temperature, reheating is generally not necessary. If you like a softer chocolate coating, simply let the bars sit on the counter for 10 to 15 minutes or microwave for a few seconds just until warm but not melting completely.

FAQs

Can I substitute collagen peptides powder with another protein powder?

While you technically can, collagen peptides have a neutral flavor and unique texture that make them perfect for this recipe. Other protein powders may alter the taste and consistency, so it’s best to stick with collagen here for authentic results.

Is monkfruit sweetener necessary or can I use a different sweetener?

Monkfruit sweetener keeps this recipe low in sugar and adds a mild sweetness without any aftertaste. You can swap with granulated sugar, maple syrup, or another sweetener, but remember to adjust the wet ingredients accordingly as liquid sweeteners add moisture.

Can I use regular maple syrup instead of sugar-free pancake syrup?

Yes, you can substitute regular maple syrup, but it will make the caramel layer sweeter and softer. Using sugar-free syrup keeps the bars firmer and reduces added sugars, but both options will taste fantastic.

Do I have to refrigerate these bars?

Refrigeration helps maintain the texture and shelf life of these bars, especially because of the collagen caramel layer and chocolate coating. They also taste great chilled, making them refreshing and easy to grab when you need a boost.

Are these bars gluten-free and keto-friendly?

Absolutely! The use of coconut flour and collagen peptides keeps them gluten-free, and by choosing sugar-free sweeteners and chocolate, this Collagen Snickers Bars Recipe easily fits into a keto or low-carb lifestyle.
