A super easy sweet treat that tastes amazing, easy to make and is good for you! This date snickers recipe may not taste exactly like the real snickers bar, but it's a yummy alternative when you're craving that sweet and salty taste without all the processed ingredients.

Raspberry Oat Snack Bars

A soft oaty bake filled with raspberry goodness - these raspberry oat snack bars make a great on-the-go breakfast or handy snack. They taste like a treat, but are much better for you than your average shop bought snack bar.
