Ingredients
Scale
Dates Stuffing
- 12 Medjool dates, pitted
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup roasted peanuts, chopped
Chocolate Coating
- 1 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for smooth melting)
Instructions
- Prepare Dates: Carefully slice each pitted date lengthwise without cutting all the way through to create a pocket for stuffing.
- Stuff Dates: Fill the pocket of each date with about one teaspoon of creamy peanut butter and sprinkle a few chopped roasted peanuts inside for added crunch.
- Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil for about 30-60 seconds, stirring every 15 seconds until smooth and glossy.
- Dip Dates: Using a fork or toothpick, dip each stuffed date into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow excess chocolate to drip off.
- Set Chocolate: Place the chocolate-coated dates on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes or until the chocolate is set and firm.
Notes
- Use Medjool dates for maximum sweetness and softness.
- Substitute peanut butter with almond or cashew butter if preferred.
- Adding coconut oil to the chocolate helps achieve a smoother coating.
- Store the finished Date Snickers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top before chocolate sets for a sweet-and-salty flavor.
