Scale
Ingredients
- 12 Medjool dates, pitted
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/3 cup roasted peanuts, chopped
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
Instructions
- Prepare Dates: Slice each Medjool date lengthwise and carefully remove the pits to create space for the filling.
- Fill Dates: Spoon a small amount of creamy peanut butter into the cavity of each date, then sprinkle chopped roasted peanuts on top for added crunch.
- Melt Chocolate: Gently melt the dark chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
- Coat Dates: Dip each filled date into the melted chocolate or drizzle the chocolate over them using a spoon to coat evenly.
- Chill: Place the chocolate-coated dates on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has completely set.
Notes
- Use Medjool dates for their soft texture and natural sweetness.
- Store finished Date Snickers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- You can substitute almond butter for peanut butter if preferred.
- Use dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa for a richer flavor and less sugar.
- Chopping peanuts finely helps the filling fit snugly inside the dates.
