Ingredients
Scale
- 10 Medjool dates (pitted)
- 1/2 cup roasted peanuts (unsalted)
- 1/4 cup peanut butter (smooth or chunky)
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (optional, for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Slice each date lengthwise to open it, then remove the pit. Fill each date with a spoonful of peanut butter, then sprinkle a few roasted peanuts inside each one. Close the dates.
- Melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil together in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) or in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring each time.
- Once the chocolate is melted and smooth, dip each stuffed date into the chocolate, coating it completely. Place the chocolate-covered dates on the prepared baking sheet.
- After all dates are dipped in chocolate, sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt on top of each piece (optional).
- Place the baking sheet in the fridge or freezer for 20-30 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden.
- Once the bark is set, break it into pieces or serve as individual treats.
Notes
- For a twist, you can also add a drizzle of caramel or use almond butter instead of peanut butter.
- You can keep the bark in the fridge for up to a week or freeze it for longer storage.
- Feel free to experiment with other nuts like cashews or walnuts if you prefer.
