Date Bark Snickers Style (Printable)

Sweet dates layered with peanut butter, coated in chocolate, topped with nuts and sea salt for a frozen treat.

# What you'll need:

→ Base

01 - 16 Medjool dates, pitted and halved

→ Filling

02 - ½ cup natural creamy peanut butter

→ Topping

03 - 7 oz dark or milk chocolate, chopped
04 - 2 tbsp coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)
05 - ⅓ cup roasted peanuts, coarsely chopped
06 - Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling (optional)

# How to make it:

01 - Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper. Arrange the pitted and halved dates cut side up in a single overlapping layer forming a rectangle or square.
02 - Spread the peanut butter evenly over the dates, filling the cavities generously.
03 - Melt the chopped chocolate with coconut oil (if using) in a microwave or over a double boiler until smooth.
04 - Pour the melted chocolate evenly over the peanut butter layer, fully covering it.
05 - Immediately sprinkle coarsely chopped peanuts and flaky sea salt over the melted chocolate.
06 - Place the tray in the freezer for at least 1 hour until the bark is firm.
07 - Once frozen, cut into pieces with a sharp knife and serve directly from the freezer for optimal texture.

# Expert suggestions:

01 -
  • You get all the satisfaction of a candy bar with nothing but real whole food ingredients
  • It comes together in minutes but tastes like you spent hours crafting something special
02 -
  • Romove the pits from dates carefully and check for any remaining hard fragments
  • Work quickly once you pour the chocolate because it starts setting almost immediately
03 -
  • Warm your knife under hot water and dry it between cuts for the cleanest slices
  • If the chocolate layer seems too thick, tilt the pan and let some drip off before it sets
