Key Ingredients

Ingredients for snickers chia pudding.
  • Maple syrup: This is the sweetener for the pudding. You can substitute maple syrup with honey, agave or a sugar-free sweetener of your choice.
  • Coconut milk: I recommend using full-fat coconut milk from a can for this recipe which will give the chia pudding a rich and creamy taste and a thick mousse-like texture. If you want a lighter version you can use light coconut milk, almond milk, or a mix of coconut milk and almond milk.
  • Medjool dates: These are the BEST type of dates to use for their caramel-like taste. I also love using them to make Snicker Dates and Caramel Bliss Balls.

Jess’s Tips

  • Adjust milk as needed: If your chia pudding comes out too thick, add more milk and mix.
  • Mix well before chilling: Mix the chia pudding thoroughly to avoid clumps. Whether I’m making a creamy lemon chia pudding or coffee chia pudding, I always like to mix it for several minutes before chilling.
  • Use good quality cocoa: The better the cocoa powder the better tasting the chia pudding. I like the brand Cacao Barry which I also use for this Chocolate Peanut Butter Chia Pudding.
  • Add toppings: Yogurt, Whipped coconut cream, chocolate granola or fresh berries are all great options!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I freeze Snickers Chia Pudding?

I don’t recommend freezing chia pudding as it makes the texture gritty once defrosting.

How can I make Snickers Chia Pudding high protein?

If you’d like to add more protein to this recipe, add one scoop of protein powder, or substitute 1/2 cup of coconut milk for Greek yogurt or blended cottage cheese.

    I love this recipe! I have made it a few times. However, did you change it recently? I thought I remembered that you added the dates later and the peanut butter caramel was cooked on the stove. Either way I will try it this way and hopefully it’s as good as I remember it.

      Hi Sio, i’m glad you love the recipe! and yes your right, I’ve updated the recipe to make it more simply and quick to prepare (with less dishes to clean up too.) but it still tastes the same!

    This looks so good, thank you! I only have access to regular canned coconut milk, not the light one. Any tips on how to adjust the recipe accordingly would be much appreciated! 🙂

    The recipe description says the pudding is topped off with the caramel sauce. Is that what you did in your beautiful photos, or did you mix the caramel into the pudding? Which version tastes better, would you say?

    I don’t have cacao nibs so will need to make it with the 70% cacao chocolate that I have on hand, it’s what I usually use for making vegan desserts.

      Hi Laura, regular coconut milk will be the same measurement as light coconut milk. That’ll work just fine! 🙂

      I like to put the caramel on top, and then swirl it into the pudding as I eat so I can have some caramel in each bite.

      The dark chocolate will be great in it too. Enjoy!
