Snickers Protein frozen s’mores

Snickers Protein Frozen S’mores are a life-changing and refreshing frozen treat made with two heavenly (but easy) layers – fluffy whipped topping and nut butter “caramel” sandwiched between high protein graham crackers! These are dairy-free, gluten-free, refined sugar-free, and high protein!

Frozen S’mores

High protein Frozen S’mores have taken social media by storm and for good reason – they are INSANELY delicious and insanely easy – a win, win in my book! However, most of the recipes use only a scoop of protein and regular graham crackers, which really doesn’t offer much protein overall. So today we are making homemade protein graham crackers to accompany the high protein, creamy filling! 

I wanted to give these a caramel Snickers vibe, so they have three delicious layers with all of the chocolate caramel goodness. Chocolate chips are folded into the whipped filling and then topped with a nut butter “caramel”. These dreamy center is sandwiched between two layers of crunchy graham crackers and they are just DIVINE. You’ll definitely be testing your patience while they firm up 😉

Why you’ll love this recipe

• Customizable: add or omit whatever you’d like! Switching up the protein flavor, using different chocolates, and adding mix-ins are all great ways to switch things up! You an make homemade graham crackers, use store-bought, or even use cookies.
• Dietary friendly: This recipe is naturally grain-free, dairy-free, gluten-free, and refined sugar-free (besides the small amount in the coconut whip!). You can also use dairy whipped topping if you’d prefer, however the coconut whip is DELICIOUS.
• Easy: Once the graham crackers are done (or if you’re using store-bought crackers) it only takes a few minutes to throw these together!

What protein works best?

I’ve tested two types of protein with this recipe – bone broth protein and plant-based protein. To be completely honest, the bone broth protein crackers turned out perfect. They were crunchy, tasted great, and I was super happy with them. The plant-based crackers came out a bit more crumbly. I had to place them in the freezer for an hour or so before being able to use them for the recipe. However once they are frozen, they’re great! But for best results, I’d recommend trying this protein or a similar one. Whey protein should also work. My link will give you 15% off as well!

However, for the coconut whip, I prefer to use plant-based protein as the texture is better in my opinion. I use Macro Mike, which honestly makes everything taste better while being made with cleaner ingredients! Their almond protein in vanilla buttercream or salted caramel work great! You can use my code “amb-dani” for a discount!

Gluten-free S’mores

It can be tough out there, trying to find good quality (and good tasting) gluten-free graham crackers and when you do, they can be a pretty penny. Today i’m sharing my protein graham cracker recipe that’s made with just a handful of wholesome ingredients like oat flour, almond flour, coconut oil, protein powder, spices, and coconut sugar! These are totally optional – so feel free to use your favorite graham crackers or even gluten-free cookies!

Ingredients

For the Snickers Protein frozen S’mores

• Graham crackers – you can use store bought graham crackers or homemade! I’m leaving a high protein graham cracker recipe in the recipe card for you. You can also use something like Simple Mills cookies for a healthier option!
• 1 thawed container of So Delicious Coconut Whip – you can use cool whip or true whip as well, however I’ve found the So Delicious brand to have the cleanest ingredients and it’s dairy-free/vegan!
• Protein powder – I use Macro Mike, which honestly makes everything taste better while being made with cleaner ingredients! Their almond protein in vanilla buttercream or salted caramel work great! You can use my code “amb-dani” for a discount! Note: Although I use bone broth protein in the crackers, I wouldn’t recommend using it in the whipped topping (You can, I just prefer the taste and texture of the plant-based protein or you can use whey!).
• Mix–ins: I used chocolate chips for crunch!
• Peanut butter: You can use any nut butter! Sunflower s a delicious nut-free option, however you can also leave the nut/seed butter out completely, I just think it makes them even better!

Homemade graham crackers

• Bone broth protein – see paragraph above on substitutions!
• Almond flour – tiger nut flour is a great nut-free option! Cashew flour will also work as a 1:1 substitute. I would not try substituting anything else as I can’t guarantee it’ll work!
• Oat flour – I used Bobs Red Mill. I find it to be much finer than homemade oat flour!
• Granulated sweetener: Coconut sugar, monk fruit, etc.
• Coconut oil or melted butter
• Pantry staples: vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, sea salt, baking soda

Steps

1. Make the graham crackers. Simply mix everything together. Spread out into a rectangle. Use a pizza cutter to cut the graham cracker shapes (leaving them in-tact! Don’t separate them). Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden. Cool completely, then break into crackers.
2. Assemble the s’mores: Add the protein powder, nut butter, and any mix-ins to the container of coconut whip. Mix well until no lumps remain. Speed this over the graham cracker base.
3. Mi together the caramel ingredients until smooth. Pour this over the coconut whip, spreading it out evenly. Then sandwich the remaining graham crackers over top.
4. Freeze: Freeze the S’mores bars overnight for best results! Then cut them into bars. Enjoy!

Storing Snickers Protein frozen S’mores

Frozen S’mores need to be stored in an air-tight container in the freezer!

Expert tips & FAQ’s

• Allow enough chilling time! The longer they’re in the freezer, the firmer and more ice cream-like the filing will become!
• If you have trouble slicing them, turn the bar onto their side and use a serrated knife to cut squares! This way it’s not pushing the filling down and rather slicing through it.
• Do I have to make homemade graham crackers? NO WAY – this is totally optional! It just adds some extra protein to the recipe! You can absolutely use store-bought graham crackers or even cookies like Simple Mills!

Instructions

 

If making graham crackers

• Preheat oven to 350F. Mix together all of the graham cracker ingredients until well combined. Roll it out onto a piece of parchment paper, to form a thin rectangle.
• Use pizza cutters to score graham cracker shapes into the dough, but don't separate them.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden. Let cool completely (at least an hour) before breaking them up into crackers. To speed things up, once the pan is cool enough to touch, you can store the crackers in the fridge or freezer to have them firm up quicker.

Frozen S'mores

• Line a small 8×8 dish with parchment paper. Add a layer of graham crackers to the bottom of it.
• Open the tub of whipped topping and whisk in the protein powder and peanut butter. Fold in the chocolate chips last. Then spread the topping over the bottom layer of graham crackers.
• in a small bowl, mix together the "caramel" ingredients until smooth. Pour this over the whipped topping, spreading it out evenly. You can tilt the pan to help disperse it evenly! Place graham crackers gently over top of the caramel layer.
• Place the bars in the freezer overnight, or for at least 3-4 hours. The longer they chill, the better. Use a serrated knife to slice them into bars and enjoy!
• Store in an air-tight container in the freezer!

Notes

*Protein in graham crackers: My Paleo Valley Bone broth protein worked best here. They turned out perfectly crunchy! You can use plant-based protein but they may turn out slightly drier and crumblier, so if you DO follow these instructions – use a pizza slicer to cut the dough into graham cracker shapes (without separating them – leave as a rectangle). Bake, then let cool until the pan is cool enough to go in the freezer. Then pop it in the freezer for an hour or so before breaking them up.
