Date Snickers Bites (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Base
01 -
Dark chocolate (dairy-free)
02 -
Raw or dry-roasted peanuts (or preferred nuts)
03 -
Nut butter (peanut or any alternative)
04 -
Pitted dates (organic)
05 -
Flaky sea salt, like Maldon
# Instructions:
01 -
For dates that aren't already pitted, take out the pits. Slice each one partway down to create a small pocket.
02 -
Put parchment paper onto a baking sheet that fits in your freezer, or use a freezer-safe plate. Lay the dates open-side up on the parchment.
03 -
Spoon some nut butter into each of the dates, filling them about three-quarters full. Pop a few nuts inside, then gently close them up. Freeze for 15-20 minutes.
04 -
Start melting your chocolate while the dates chill and let it cool slightly once it's liquid and smooth.
05 -
Take the chilled dates out of the freezer and cover them in melted chocolate. Use two spoons to coat them fully or drizzle if you'd like a lighter coating.
06 -
Sprinkle some flaky salt on top, then freeze again for 20-30 minutes until the chocolate firms up.
# Notes:
01 -
Store in a container with a tight lid
02 -
Tastes best cold, straight from the freezer
