Description
This Viral Chocolate Date Bark tastes just like a Snickers bar but is made with healthier ingredients. Delicious Medjool dates are layered with creamy peanut butter and crunchy peanuts, all topped with a rich, decadent chocolate shell. The best healthy treat you can eat every day!
Ingredients
Scale
- 20–24 Medjool dates
- 2/3 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup dry roasted peanuts
- 9 ounces chocolate chips or chocolate bar
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil – optional
- Coarse sea salt – optional for topping
Instructions
- Line a medium size baking sheet with parchment paper. Slit each date (remove the pits if needed), then use your hands to spread the dates onto the lined pan, arranging them in a rectangular shape. I spread mine in a 4×6 pattern.
- Pour and spread the peanut butter over the dates to cover them, then sprinkle the peanuts in an even layer over the peanut butter.
- Place the chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave the chocolate in 30-second intervals until it is mostly melted. Then stir the chocolate to fully melt it until it is nice and smooth.
- Pour the melted chocolate evenly over the peanut butter layer and spread it out so that it covers everything. Top with coarse sea salt if desired. Then place the date bark in the freezer for 60-90 minutes or until it is set.
- Remove the bark from the freezer once it is ready and peel the parchment paper off of the bottom of the bark. Place the bark onto a cutting board and cut it into pieces using a large kitchen knife.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Medjool dates should be used for the best results.
- I used Lily’s chocolate chips but any brand will work.
- A creamy, drippy, natural peanut butter is recommended since it is easier to spread over the dates.
- Let the date bark chill until the peanut butter and chocolate layers are set.
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge or freezer for up to one week.
