I wanted to replicate the flavour of a 'Snickers' bar by creating a super easy, super quick, low sugar version. - miss parasol

Ingredients

35 g unsalted butter
1/4 cup rice malt syrup
1 1/2 cups salted peanuts
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
30 g 90% cocoa dark chocolate

Method

Step 1

Line an 18 x 28cm rectangular tray with baking paper.
Step 2

Roughly chop dark chocolate into chunks.
Step 3

Place butter, rice malt syrup, and peanuts into a medium saucepan on a medium/high heat. Stir mixture as butter melts and liquid begins to bubble.
Step 4

Boil on medium high for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring gently now and then. (A lot of the moisture will have thickened into a caramel.)
Step 5

Remove from the heat and stir in vanilla. Using a spatula, scrape mixture onto the lined tray, flattening out to a chunky single layer of nuts.
Step 6

Place chunks of dark chocolate over hot caramel nut mixture. Chocolate will melt and set in yummy puddles.
Step 7

Leave at room temperature for around 20 minutes, until cool enough to put in the fridge. Refrigerate for 1 hr. (Use the freezer if you're desperate!)
Step 8

Once the slice has set, chop into chunks and store in an airtight container, lined with baking paper, in the fridge for up to 1 week.......if it lasts that long.
