HEALTHY DATE SNICKER RECIPE |
|
|---|
|
Ingredients
20 Medjool dates
1/2 cup peanut butter or nut butter of choice
3 tablespoons roasted peanuts or nut of your choice
1 1/4 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
1/2 teaspoon avocado or coconut oil (optional, but helps the chocolate's fluidity and lowers the melting point, which prevents seizing)
flaky sea salt
Instructions
1. Pit dates if not already pitted, and slice down the middle (but not all the way through) so you can open them up.
2. Add parchment paper to a plate or small baking sheet (be sure it will fit in your freezer). 3. Open each date slightly to form a pocket, and space them evenly on the parchment paper
4. Add enough nut butter to fill each date about 75% of the way, top with a few nuts, then pinch closed. Place in the freezer to form for 15-20 minutes. While the dates freeze, melt your chocolate. Let the chocolate cool slightly before moving on.
5. Remove dates from the freezer, then dip each one in the melted chocolate until completely coated. You can use two spoons to help dip for less mess, or choose to drizzle the chocolate instead of dip.
6. Sprinkle with flaky salt, then add to freezer for 20-30 minutes or until the chocolate has hardened.
Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container
