Description
These Easy Date Snickers are the perfect no-bake sweet treat when I want something that tastes indulgent but is made with simple ingredients. With soft Medjool dates, creamy peanut butter, crunchy peanuts, and a smooth dark chocolate coating, this easy recipe works beautifully as a healthy snack, quick dessert, meal prep treat, and one of my favorite food ideas for busy days.
Ingredients
12 Medjool dates
1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup roasted peanuts
1 cup dark chocolate chips
1 teaspoon coconut oil
1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt
Instructions
1. Slice each date lengthwise and remove the pit if needed, keeping the date mostly intact like a little pocket.
2. Fill each date with a small spoonful of peanut butter.
3. Press a few roasted peanuts into the peanut butter filling.
4. Place the filled dates on a parchment-lined plate or tray and chill for 10 to 15 minutes.
5. Melt the dark chocolate chips with the coconut oil until smooth.
6. Dip each stuffed date into the melted chocolate and let the excess drip off.
7. Place the coated dates back onto parchment paper.
8. Sprinkle the tops with flaky sea salt while the chocolate is still wet.
9. Chill until the chocolate is fully set, then serve.
Notes
Do not overfill the dates with peanut butter, or the filling can slide out during dipping and make the chocolate coating messy.
