Date Bark
We love the viral date bark and thought it deserved another moment! It’s healthy enough to keep stocked up in the freezer and sweet enough to cure any sugar cravings. Combining Medjool dates with peanut butter, chocolate and peanuts – It’s like a guilt-free Snickers bar! Read on for this healthy and delicious snack recipe…
Ingredients
- 10-12 pitted Medjool dates
- 2 tablespoons smooth peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons chopped peanuts (or any nut of your choice!)
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips (we like to use Raw Halo vegan dark chocolate)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- Sea Salt
Method
Line a small baking tray with parchment paper. Split the dates open and press each one down onto the sheet, making sure they overlap a little so they stick together.
Drizzle peanut butter on top and use a spoon to spread it across the dates. Sprinkle on the chopped nuts.
Melt the chocolate with coconut oil and drizzle it on. Use a spoon to spread it around so it coats everything.
Sprinkle on flaky sea salt and pop the tray into the freezer for 10-15 minutes, or until the chocolate has set. Remove from the freezer, chop the bark into 10 pieces and enjoy.
Store leftovers in the fridge or freezer. If you’re storing in the freezer, the dates will get pretty hard, so let the bark sit out a few minutes before biting into it.
Enjoy with your midmorning coffee or as a sweet treat after dinner!
