Description

These Date Snickers are a delicious and healthy twist on the classic candy bar. Stuffed with peanut butter and roasted peanuts, then coated in rich dark chocolate, they make a perfect bite-sized treat that’s both sweet and satisfying. Ready in just 30 minutes, these no-bake treats are ideal for quick snacks or party appetizers.

Ingredients

Dates and Filling

  • 12 medjool dates
  • ¼ cup peanut butter (divided)
  • ¼ cup chopped roasted peanuts (divided)

Chocolate Coating

  • 4 ounces dark chocolate bar, cut into chunks

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dates: Use a small sharp knife to cut a lengthwise slit in each medjool date. Carefully remove the pits, creating space to fill the dates.
  2. Stuff the Dates: Fill each pitted date with 1 teaspoon of peanut butter, then sprinkle 1 teaspoon of crushed roasted peanuts on top. Set the stuffed dates aside.
  3. Melt the Chocolate: Place the chunks of dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each to ensure the chocolate melts evenly and smoothly without burning.
  4. Dip the Dates: Insert a toothpick into each stuffed date for easy handling. Dip each date into the melted chocolate, using a spoon to coat it completely. Allow any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
  5. Garnish and Set: Transfer the chocolate-coated dates onto a tray or plate lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle the tops with the remaining crushed peanuts for added texture and flavor.
  6. Chill: Place the tray in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to let the chocolate set firmly before serving.

Notes

  • Medjool dates are preferred for their natural sweetness and chewy texture.
  • Use smooth or crunchy peanut butter based on your texture preference.
  • Dark chocolate with at least 60% cocoa content works best for flavor balance.
  • If you don’t have a microwave, melt the chocolate using a double boiler on the stovetop.
  • Store the finished treats in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
