This Date Snickers Recipe is a simple, no-bake treat combining the natural sweetness of Medjool dates with creamy peanut butter, salted peanuts, and rich dark chocolate.

Ingredients

Scale

Dates

  • 6 Medjool dates, pitted

Filling

  • 6 tsp smooth peanut butter
  • 20g salted peanuts, chopped

Topping

  • 60g dark chocolate, melted

Instructions

  1. Prepare Dates: Remove the stones from the Medjool dates carefully to keep them intact, then press each pitted date firmly into round cupcake silicone molds to form the base.
  2. Add Peanut Butter and Peanuts: Spoon one teaspoon of smooth peanut butter onto each date base, spreading evenly, then sprinkle chopped salted peanuts over the peanut butter for added crunch.
  3. Drizzle Chocolate: Melt the dark chocolate until smooth, then drizzle it generously over the peanut butter and peanuts on each date, covering the top.
  4. Freeze: Place the molded dates in the freezer and chill for around one hour, or until the chocolate is set and the treats are firm.
  5. Serve: Remove from the freezer, gently pop the Date Snickers from the silicone molds, and enjoy immediately as a satisfying frozen snack or dessert.

Notes

  • Use Medjool dates for their soft texture and natural sweetness which pairs well with peanut butter and chocolate.
  • Ensure the chocolate is completely melted and slightly cooled before drizzling to achieve a smooth finish without melting the peanut butter layer.
  • These treats can be stored in the freezer for up to 1 week in an airtight container.
  • For a nut-free version, substitute peanut butter and peanuts with sunflower seed butter and seeds.
