This dairy-free, peanut-caramel-chocolate bar is nutty and sweet

Craving for something sweet but without the dairy? Local business Marahuyo makes their own plant-based take on the Snickers candy bar, without any milk, refined sugar, or other animal by-products.

Marahuyo calls them “Galák Bars” – a vegan peanut-caramel-chocolate dessert bar that’s almost like a crossover between Cloud 9, Snickers, and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. It’s shaped like a typical chocolate-covered candy bar, just not as dense or firm, as it tends to slightly fall apart after your first bite.

What’s inside is a layer of “marshmallow fluff,” a light, coconut-oat filling, and a top nougat-like layer of “caramel,” which tastes like a sweet, nutty peanut butter made with soy milk and dates. There are also a few crunchy peanuts in between. Everything is covered in decadent dark chocolate, perfect for your next chocolatey, peanut butter sweet fix (without the guilt)!

The Galák Bar also contains coconut oil, agave syrup, and salt. It costs P300 for a box of 4 bars. They can be stored in the freezer for up to a month and for up to two weeks in the refrigerator. They’re best eaten chilled.

Marahuyo handcrafts each batch per week, so customers are encouraged to reserve a slot before Friday, which is their designated delivery day for Metro Manila orders.

They’re based in Parañaque City. To order, you can message Marahuyo on Facebook or order via Vutcher Grocer. – Rappler.com
