Snickers Stuffed Dates are a fun spin-off from the classic candy bar that's trending on TikTok for being a deliciously sweet yet salty treat! Make a batch in just 30 minutes!

Ingredients  

  • 12 Medjool dates pitted
  • 3 tablespoons peanut butter
  • 3 tablespoons chopped peanuts plus more for topping if desired
  • 11.5 ounces extra dark chocolate chips
  • 2 teaspoons coconut oil
  • flaky salt for topping

Instructions

  • Line a small pan or freezer-safe plate with parchment paper and set aside.
  • If the dates are not already sliced when purchased, use a paring knife to slice down one side and butterfly them open.
  • Add the peanut butter to a piping bag and cut off the tip. Pipe the peanut butter into one side of the date.
  • Top the peanut butter with crushed peanuts then close up the dates and secure with a toothpick.
  • Add the chocolate chips and coconut oil to a deep wide-mouthed glass and melt at 30-second intervals, stirring between each one, until fully melted.
  • Use the toothpicks to dip the dates into the chocolate and transfer to the parchment to set. Use another toothpick to help slide the original ones out.
  • Sprinkle with additional chopped nuts and flaky salt and drizzle with extra chocolate.
  • Chill in the freezer for 15 minutes until the chocolate has set.

Notes

  • Chocolate melting wafers may also be used in this recipe, if used, you do not need to add coconut oil.
  • Sugar-free peanut butter can be used, the dates add enough natural sweetness.
  • A dairy-free chocolate chip can be used to make this recipe vegan.
  • In my opinion, the flaky salt is a MUST. This changes the whole flavor of the treat and really makes it taste like a snickers bar. Otherwise you really just get sweet with a note of bitterness from the dark chocolate.
