Description
Date Snickers are a no-bake, healthier twist on classic candy bars. Made with soft Medjool dates, creamy peanut butter, crunchy peanuts, and a drizzle of dark chocolate, they deliver all the Snickers vibes in a gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan-friendly package.
Ingredients
9 Medjool dates, pitted and halved
4–5 tbsp salted peanut butter (or other nut/seed butter)
3 tbsp chopped peanuts
1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
Flaky sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- Split the Medjool dates in half and remove pits. Place cut-side up on parchment paper.
- Fill each date half with about 1/2 tsp peanut butter.
- Sprinkle chopped peanuts on top of the peanut butter.
- Melt chocolate chips using a double boiler or microwave (30-second intervals).
- Drizzle melted chocolate over the stuffed dates.
- Top with flaky sea salt if desired.
- Chill in the fridge for 10 minutes until the chocolate sets.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.
Notes
- Use sunflower seed butter and seeds for a nut-free version.
- If dates are too firm, soften them over steam for 5 minutes.
- Mix in a little coconut oil if chocolate is too thick to drizzle.
- Try rolling in crushed nuts or puffed rice for extra texture.
- Store in the fridge for up to 1 month or freeze for longer shelf life.
