Description

This Date Snickers recipe is a healthy and delicious no-bake treat that mimics the flavors of a classic Snickers bar. Using naturally sweet Medjool dates, smooth peanut butter, crunchy salted peanuts, and rich dark chocolate, this simple dessert is perfect for a quick snack or a guilt-free indulgence. Ready in under 15 minutes and frozen for a short chill, it’s an ideal bite-sized treat for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 6 Medjool dates
  • 6 tsp smooth peanut butter
  • 20g salted peanuts, roughly chopped
  • 60g dark chocolate, melted

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dates: Remove the pits from the Medjool dates by slicing them open lengthwise and gently pulling out the stones. Press each pitted date firmly into round cupcake silicone moulds to create a stable base.
  2. Add Peanut Butter: Spoon 1 teaspoon of smooth peanut butter onto each date, spreading it evenly to cover the surface.
  3. Sprinkle Salted Peanuts: Evenly sprinkle roughly chopped salted peanuts over the peanut butter layer, adding a delightful crunch and savory contrast.
  4. Drizzle Dark Chocolate: Pour the melted dark chocolate over each date, ensuring it covers the peanut topping completely for a smooth finish.
  5. Freeze: Place the moulds into the freezer and chill for about 1 hour, allowing the chocolate to set and the flavors to meld.
  6. Serve: Once frozen and firm, carefully remove the Date Snickers from the moulds and enjoy immediately as a bite-sized treat.

Notes

  • Use Medjool dates for their softness and natural sweetness.
  • For a nut-free version, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter and omit the peanuts.
  • Store the finished Date Snickers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week.
  • You can adjust the amount of peanut butter or nuts based on your taste preference.
  • If you don’t have silicone moulds, use a parchment-lined small baking dish and cut into pieces after freezing.
