Snickers Rolls
Ingredients
Roll Dough:
- ¾ cup plant-based milk almond, soy, or oat
- ¼ cup dairy-free butter
- 2¼ tsp active dry yeast 1 packet
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ tsp salt
Nutty Filling:
- ½ cup dairy-free butter softened
- ½ cup chopped peanuts
- ½ cup chocolate chips dairy-free
Caramel Sauce:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup canned coconut milk full-fat
- ½ cup dairy-free butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Prepare the Dough:
- In a small saucepan, heat the plant-based milk and dairy-free butter until warm (about 110°F). Remove from heat and sprinkle the yeast over the mixture. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
- Add the yeast mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
Prepare the Filling:
- In a medium bowl, mix the softened dairy-free butter and chopped peanuts until well combined.
Assemble the Rolls:
- Punch down the risen dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle, about ¼-inch thick.
- Spread the nutty filling evenly over the dough.
- Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the filling.
- Starting from the long edge, tightly roll up the dough into a log.
- Cut the log into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, cut side up.
- Cover the dish with a damp cloth and let the rolls rise again for about 30-45 minutes, or until puffy.
Bake the Rolls:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Allow the rolls to cool slightly in the pan while you prepare the caramel sauce.
Prepare the Caramel Sauce:
- In a medium saucepan, heat the granulated sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly until melted and golden brown.
- Add the coconut milk and dairy-free butter, stirring continuously until smooth.
- Allow the caramel to simmer for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Serve:
- Pour the warm caramel sauce over the baked rolls.
- Serve warm and enjoy the gooey, nutty, chocolatey goodness!
Notes
- Plant-Based Milk: Ensure the milk is warm but not hot to activate the yeast properly.
- Chocolate Chips: Use dairy-free chocolate chips for a vegan option.
- Caramel Sauce: Be careful when adding the coconut milk to the melted sugar as it will bubble up.
