Description

Date Snickers: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe with 7 Amazing Ingredients


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Medjool dates, pitted
  • 1 cup mixed nuts (such as almonds, peanuts, or cashews)
  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter or almond butter
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips (dairy-free if desired)
  • Sea salt, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Follow these easy steps to create your own Date Snickers:
  2. In a food processor, blend the pitted Medjool dates until they form a sticky paste.
  3. Add Nut Butter: Mix in the peanut butter (or almond butter), maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Incorporate Nuts: Fold in the mixed nuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the date mixture.
  5. Form the Base: Line a small baking dish with parchment paper. Press the date and nut mixture into the dish, creating an even layer about 1/2 inch thick.
  6. Chill the Base: Place the dish in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up the mixture.
  7. Melt the Chocolate: While the base is chilling, melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
  8. Coat the Base: Remove the chilled date mixture from the refrigerator. Cut it into bars or squares and dip each piece into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are well-coated.
  9. Sprinkle Salt: Once coated, place the chocolate-covered bars on a parchment-lined tray. Sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt on top of each piece.
  10. Final Chill: Return the tray to the refrigerator for an additional 15-20 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
  11. Serve and Enjoy: Once the chocolate is firm, your Date Snickers are ready to be enjoyed!
