Ingredients
Scale
Dates
- 6 Medjool dates, pitted
Toppings
- 6 teaspoons smooth peanut butter
- 20g salted peanuts, chopped
- 60g dark chocolate, melted
Instructions
- Prepare the Dates: Remove the stones from each Medjool date carefully, ensuring they remain mostly whole for a nice base. Press each date into a round cupcake silicone mold to shape them evenly.
- Add Peanut Butter and Peanuts: Spoon a teaspoon of smooth peanut butter on top of each date. Sprinkle a few chopped salted peanuts over the peanut butter layer to add a crunchy texture.
- Drizzle with Chocolate: Drizzle the melted dark chocolate evenly over the peanut butter and peanut topping, covering each date treat thoroughly.
- Chill to Set: Place the silicone mold in the freezer for about 1 hour, allowing the chocolate to harden and the flavors to meld together. Once set, remove from the mold and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use Medjool dates for their softness and natural sweetness, which balance well with the peanut butter and chocolate.
- For a nut-free version, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter and omit the salted peanuts.
- Store the Date Snickers in the freezer or refrigerator to keep the chocolate firm until serving.
- Use dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa for a richer flavor and less sweetness.
- This recipe is naturally gluten-free and vegan-friendly.
