A delicious no-bake treat made with sweet dates, creamy nut butter, crunchy nuts, and a rich chocolate coating. Perfect when you want something sweet and easy! 😍
Ingredients
- 12–15 soft Medjool dates, pitted
- ½ cup peanut butter or almond butter
- 1½ cups dark or milk chocolate
- ½ cup chopped almonds, peanuts, or pistachios
- ½ tsp flaky sea salt
- ½ tsp vanilla extract, optional
- 1 tbsp coconut oil, optional
👨🍳 Instructions
- Prepare the dates:
Remove the pits and place the dates on a sheet of parchment paper. Arrange them close together. - Flatten:
Cover with another sheet of parchment and gently press or roll the dates flat into one even layer. - Add the nut butter:
Spread peanut butter or almond butter evenly over the flattened dates. - Add the crunch:
Sprinkle the chopped nuts over the nut-butter layer and gently press them down. - Melt the chocolate:
Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 20–30 second intervals, stirring between each, until completely smooth. Stir in coconut oil if desired. - Cover with chocolate:
Pour the melted chocolate over the dates and spread it into an even layer. - Finish:
Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and, if you like, a few extra chopped nuts. - Chill:
Refrigerate for 1–2 hours, or until the chocolate is completely firm. - Break & serve:
Remove from the fridge, break into bark-sized pieces, and enjoy! 🍫✨
🔥 Tip: Keep the bark refrigerated so the chocolate stays firm and the dates remain chewy.
