Ingredients
- 6 Medjool dates
- 6 tsp smooth peanut butter
- 20g salted peanuts
- 60g dark chocolate, melted
- Prepare Dates: Remove the stones from each Medjool date carefully by slicing and pitting them. Press each pitted date firmly into round silicone cupcake molds to form a base.
- Add Peanut Butter and Peanuts: Spoon 1 teaspoon of smooth peanut butter on top of each date in the mold and then sprinkle a small amount of salted peanuts over the peanut butter for crunch.
- Drizzle Chocolate: Melt the dark chocolate gently and drizzle it over the peanut butter and peanut topping on each date, ensuring an even coverage.
- Freeze: Place the filled molds in the freezer and chill for about one hour until the chocolate is set and the treats are firm.
- Serve: Remove the Date Snickers from the silicone molds carefully and serve immediately for a chilled, delicious snack.
Notes
- Use silicone molds to make removal easier without damaging the treats.
- The dark chocolate can be tempered for a glossy finish or simply melted easily using a double boiler or microwave.
- These treats should be kept frozen until serving to maintain their texture.
- For a nut-free version, substitute peanuts with roasted seeds and peanut butter with sunflower seed butter.
- Adjust the amount of peanut butter and peanuts based on your taste preference for more or less crunch and richness.
