Ingredients
- 22 medjool dates, pitted and sliced open
- 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/3 cup chopped unsalted peanuts
- 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips
- 2 tsp coconut oil
- optional: sea salt
Instructions
- Layer a baking sheet with parchment paper. Layer the pitted and sliced dates in a single layer, putting the dates close to eachother, overlapping slightly. Layer another piece of parchment paper over top of the dates and use a glass to press / smash down the dates to create a single, thinner layer. Remove the parchment paper.
- Melt the chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 20 second increments in the microwave, stirring after each 20 seconds until melted.
- Drizzle the peanut butter over the flattened dates and then sprinkle the chopped peanuts over top of the peanut butter. Finally pour the melted chocolate over the date-peanut layers and if needed use the back of a spoon to gently spread the chocolate to make sure all of the edges are covered. Add a sprinkle of sea salt if desired.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or freeze for at least 30 minutes to set. Use a sharp knife to slice into pieces or break into pieces and enjoy!
Notes
- Can I use a different nut butter? While the intention is to create a chocolate bark that is similar to a snickers bar, if needed you can use almond butter or even a seed butter of choice.
- Can I make this nut-free? If needed for allergy purposes swap the peanuts for something else to give the same crunch like a favourite crunchy cereal or seeds.
- How can I make this a vegan chocolate bark? This recipe is mostly plant-based so make sure to use dairy-free chocolate chips instead of regular to make it fully vegan.
