Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 12 medjool dates, pitted
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts
  • 100g dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • Sea salt flakes (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Dates: Slice each medjool date lengthwise and carefully remove the pit, creating a small pocket in the middle to hold the filling.
  2. Fill Dates: Spoon a small amount of creamy peanut butter into each date pocket, smoothing it out evenly to fill the space completely.
  3. Add Peanuts: Sprinkle chopped roasted peanuts over the peanut butter filling and press gently to help them adhere.
  4. Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and coconut oil. Heat in 20-second increments, stirring well after each, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
  5. Coat Dates: Using a fork, dip each stuffed date into the melted chocolate to coat thoroughly. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the date on a parchment-lined tray.
  6. Garnish: While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt flakes on top of each coated date for added flavor contrast.
  7. Chill: Transfer the tray to the refrigerator and chill for 20-30 minutes, or until the chocolate coating has fully firmed up.
  8. Serve: Enjoy the Date Snickers chilled or at room temperature as a delightful and nutritious treat.

Notes

  • Ensure medjool dates are soft to allow easy slicing and filling.
  • Use high-quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher) for best flavor and health benefits.
  • Chilling time can be extended if needed until chocolate is fully set.
  • Store finished Date Snickers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • For a nut-free alternative, substitute peanut butter and nuts with seed butters and seeds.
