Servings: 10 date snickers
Equipment
- Paring knife
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Measuring cups
Ingredients
- 10 Medjool dates
- ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips melted
- ¼ cup chopped peanuts
- Flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Pit dates if not already pitted, and slice down the middle (but not all the way through) so you can open them up.
- Add parchment paper to a small baking sheet (be sure it will fit in your freezer). Open each date slightly and space them evenly on the parchment paper. Top with a second piece of parchment and use a glass to smash each date flat.
- Spread about 1 teaspoon of runny peanut butter to the top of each smashed date. Place in the freezer while you melt your chocolate in the microwave or on a double boiler on the stovetop. Take dates back out of the freezer and add a dollop of melted chocolate on top.
- Sprinkle with chopped peanuts and flakey salt. Place back in the freezer for 20-30 minutes or until the chocolate has hardened.
- Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
