Date Bark Snickers Style (Printable)

Sweet dates paired with peanut butter, chocolate, and nuts for a quick and indulgent treat.

# What You Need:

→ Base

01 - 16 Medjool dates, pitted and halved

→ Filling

02 - 1/2 cup natural creamy peanut butter

→ Topping

03 - 7 oz dark or milk chocolate, chopped
04 - 2 tbsp coconut oil (optional)
05 - 1/3 cup roasted peanuts, coarsely chopped
06 - Flaky sea salt (optional)

# How To Make It:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange pitted and halved dates, cut side up, in a single layer forming a rectangle or square, slightly overlapping to create a solid base.
02 - Spread peanut butter evenly over the date base, filling the cavities generously.
03 - Melt chocolate and coconut oil together in a microwave or over a double boiler until smooth.
04 - Pour or drizzle melted chocolate evenly over the peanut butter layer, fully covering it.
05 - Immediately sprinkle chopped peanuts and flaky sea salt over the melted chocolate.
06 - Place the tray in the freezer for at least 1 hour until set and firm.
07 - Cut into bark pieces with a sharp knife and serve directly from the freezer for best texture.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • No baking required and ready in under an hour, making it perfect for last-minute cravings or gifts.
  • Feels indulgent and restaurant-quality while using just five simple ingredients.
  • Naturally gluten-free and endlessly customizable for dietary preferences.
02 -
  • If your chocolate cracks when you bite into a frozen piece, it likely didn't have enough fat content. Adding that coconut oil isn't fancy, it's necessary for real chocolate bark texture.
  • Don't skip the parchment paper step because chocolate on bare metal sticks and becomes heartbreaking. This one lesson applies to every chocolate bark you'll ever make.
03 -
  • Cut your bark into pieces right after it comes out of the freezer when the chocolate is still firm but the knife can glide through cleanly. Waiting until it softens makes edges crumbly and messy.
  • If you're making this for someone with a nut allergy, sunflower seed butter and crushed pumpkin seeds create the exact same flavor magic without the peanut.
