Dates
Filling
- 6 tsp smooth peanut butter
- 20g salted peanuts, chopped
Topping
- 60g dark chocolate, melted
- 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.
- 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.
- Drizzle Chocolate: Melt the dark chocolate until smooth, then drizzle it generously over the peanut butter and peanuts on each date, covering the top.
- 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.
- 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.
