Ingredients
  

Date Base & Filling
  • 12 large Medjool dates soft and pliable
  • 0.5 cup natural creamy peanut butter stirred well
  • 0.25 cup roasted peanuts roughly chopped
Chocolate Coating
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips 70% cocoa or higher
  • 1 tsp refined coconut oil
  • 1 pinch flaky sea salt for garnish

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Fork for dipping

Method
 

  1. Carefully slice a slit down the length of each Medjool date and remove the pit, creating a pocket.
  2. Fill the cavity of each pitted date generously with the creamy natural peanut butter.
  3. Press a few chopped roasted peanuts into the exposed peanut butter for crunch.
  4. Place the stuffed dates on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 15-20 minutes to firm up the peanut butter.
  5. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil together in 30-second increments, stirring until completely smooth and glossy.
  6. Using a fork, dip each chilled date into the melted chocolate, rolling to coat completely. Tap off excess chocolate.
  7. Return the coated dates to the parchment paper and immediately sprinkle the tops with flaky sea salt.
  8. Refrigerate for 10-15 minutes until the chocolate shell is completely set and hardened. Serve chilled.

Notes

Store leftover Date Snickers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Enjoy straight from the fridge for the best texture.
