Stuffed Date Snickers (Printer-Friendly)

Sweet Medjool dates stuffed with peanut butter, roasted peanuts, and coated in dark chocolate for a decadent no-bake treat.

# What You'll Need:

→ Dates & Filling

01 - 12 large Medjool dates, pitted
02 - 6 tablespoons natural peanut butter or almond butter
03 - 3 tablespoons roasted peanuts, roughly chopped

→ Chocolate Coating

04 - 5 oz dark chocolate (70% or higher), chopped
05 - 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother coating)

→ Topping

06 - Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

# How to Make It:

01 - Slice each Medjool date open lengthwise on one side and remove the pits. Gently pry the dates open without separating them completely, creating a pocket for the filling.
02 - Stuff each date with ½ tablespoon of peanut butter, then sprinkle chopped roasted peanuts inside for added crunch. Press the dates closed around the filling.
03 - Combine the chopped dark chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely smooth. Alternatively, melt over a double boiler.
04 - Using a fork, dip each stuffed date into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Transfer the coated dates to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
05 - Sprinkle flaky sea salt over the chocolate-coated dates while the coating is still wet, if desired.
06 - Refrigerate the dates for at least 20 minutes or until the chocolate is completely set. Serve chilled or bring to room temperature before enjoying.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • You get all the salty sweet satisfaction of a Snickers bar but with actual nourishing ingredients that leave you feeling energized instead of depleted

02 -
  • The chocolate sets faster if you pop the tray in the freezer for ten minutes instead of the fridge but the texture stays the same
  • Room temperature dates are much easier to slice and stuff than cold ones straight from the refrigerator
03 -
  • Wipe your knife between dates to keep the filling from smearing everywhere and making a mess
  • Keep a small bowl of warm water nearby to dip your fingers in when the peanut butter gets too sticky
