Homemade Snickers & Reese's a.k.a. "Fat Bombs"

Ingredients -- Vegan or Ovo-Lacto Vegetarian

Chocolate Coating (for Homemade Reese's)

1/2 cup Cacao Butter (~60g), and/or Coconut Oil, or regular Butter (non-vegan)
2 heaping Tbsp Peanut Butter (or some other nut butter)
~1 cup dark chocolate chips (assumed semi-sweet)
~1/3 cup coconut sugar (if necessary based on sweetness of other ingredients)
~1/3 cup cream
~1/4 cup Cocoa Powder (unsweetened)
1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
pinch of salt, optional cinnamon, or finely shredded coconut, etc.

Nougat Filling (for Homemade Reese's)

about 15 dates, pitted (basically any variety)
about 15 large walnut pieces (optional)
coarse grained sea salt
toothpicks.

Melt each ingredient, in order, gently in microwave, preferably using a Pyrex measuring cup. Mix and stir thoroughly -- until even consistency -- at each step. Sift in the coconut sugar, (or other sweetener), while the chocolate is very hot, so as to melt the granules.
Sift in cocoa powder, again to avoid granules. Add remaining spices. Taste and adjust sweetener (can add liquid stevia).

If Making Homemade Reese's:
Divide the chocolate mix into silicone muffin cups while still warm and pour-able. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours. After the treats are solid, remove them from the muffin cups and (optional) shake them inside a plastic bag or container with a small amount of cocoa powder, to limit how much they melt & stick to one's fingers.

If Making Homemade Snickers:
Be sure the dates are pitted, and replace each pit with a large walnut half, if desired. Skewer each date with a toothpick and use it to dip each date into the warm chocolate mix, turning so they are fully coated. Place inside a container for refrigeration. But while still warm, sprinkle a pinch of coarse grained sea salt over each treat.
I personally prefer to remove all the toothpicks after the chocolate has solidified, rather than waiting until eating them. If the toothpicks are removed in advance, then like the above recipe, we can (optional) shake them inside a plastic bag or container with a small amount of cocoa powder, to limit how much they melt & stick to one's fingers.
