Ingredients

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

  1. Prepare Dates: Slice each Medjool date lengthwise and carefully remove the pits to create space for the filling.
  2. 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.
  3. Melt Chocolate: Gently melt the dark chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
  4. Coat Dates: Dip each filled date into the melted chocolate or drizzle the chocolate over them using a spoon to coat evenly.
  5. 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.
