4-Ingredient Date Bark
Chewy, crunchy and full of chocolate and peanut butter flavor, this 4-ingredient date bark tastes similar to the classic caramel-nut candy bar, but without all the sugar and artificial ingredients! This delicious treat is perfect for an indulgent snack or healthier dessert!
Ingredients
- 2 cups pitted, dried dates
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3/4 cup peanuts, salted or unsalted
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips
- sea salt for sprinkling on top optional
Instructions
- Take a date one at a time and open it down the middle. Press the date face-down onto a large piece of parchment paper. Repeat this process with the rest of the dates to form a large rectangle. Make sure the dates are touching and even overlapping.
- Warm your peanut butter in the microwave for 30 seconds or until melted. Spread your melted peanut butter over the date rectangle.
- Sprinkle peanuts over top of the peanut butter layer.
- Melt chocolate chips in the microwave in 30 second increments until they are completely melted. Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut layer and use a spatula to gently spread the chocolate over the entire rectangle. Sprinkle a little sea salt on the top if desired.
- Slide a pan or tray underneath the parchment paper and place in the freezer. Freeze 2 hours, or until chocolate and peanut butter are firm. Use a sharp knife to cut the date bark into squares and enjoy.
Notes
*Store leftover date bark in the freezer for up to 3 months.
