Description
A wholesome, no-bake dessert that combines Medjool dates, peanut butter, dark chocolate, and nuts for a naturally sweet and satisfying treat reminiscent of classic Snickers bars.
Ingredients
20 Medjool dates, preferably pitted
½ cup creamy peanut butter
¼ cup chopped peanuts
1 cup dark chocolate chips
1 teaspoon avocado oil or coconut oil
1 teaspoon flaky sea salt, to taste
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice each date lengthwise and remove pits. Place dates slit-side up on the sheet.
- Flatten each date gently with the bottom of a greased glass.
- Microwave peanut butter for 20–30 seconds to soften, then spread about a teaspoon over each date.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips with oil in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
- Spread melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer.
- Sprinkle chopped peanuts and flaky sea salt on top.
- Chill in the fridge or freezer for at least 30 minutes until set.
- Cut into bars or pieces. Let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Use sunflower seed butter and omit peanuts for a nut-free version.
- Ensure chocolate is dairy-free for a vegan version.
- Top with coconut, cacao nibs, or dried fruits for variety.
- Cut with a hot knife for clean slices.
- Store in fridge or freezer and thaw briefly before serving.
