Description
Date Snickers are a healthy, no-bake treat made with Medjool dates stuffed with peanut butter, coated in chocolate, and sprinkled with chopped peanuts. They taste just like a Snickers bar but are naturally sweetened and made with wholesome ingredients.
Ingredients
- 10 Medjool dates
- 1/4 cup peanut butter (natural, creamy or crunchy)
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped roasted peanuts
Instructions
- Slice each date open on one side and remove the pit.
- Fill each date with about 1 teaspoon of peanut butter and gently press closed.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
- Dip each stuffed date into the melted chocolate, coating fully. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Sprinkle the tops with chopped peanuts while the chocolate is still wet.
- Place in the refrigerator or freezer for 10–15 minutes, or until chocolate is set. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- Use almond butter or sunflower seed butter for a variation or nut-free version.
- Dark chocolate (70% or higher) gives a richer, less sweet flavor.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freezer for up to 1 month.
