Tip: If you love chocolate with flaky sea salt, you could add it to top the peanut butter layer for an even stronger pop of savory sweet flavor. Turns out, stuffing caramel-flavored Medjool dates with peanut butter and coating them in dark chocolate is a fun alternative to that popular candy. And in our opinion, it tastes much better than the real thing! The chewy texture of the dates is nougat-like, and combined with PB and chocolate: what could be better? These treats are a huge hit in our family, and they’re a fun way to make a homemade healthy-ish treat.
Medjool dates: These are very large, soft dates with an intense caramel sweet flavor. They’ve become popular for use in energy bars, sweetening desserts, and stuffed. They’re easy to find in grocery stores: just make sure they are labeled “Medjool”. We don’t recommend substituting another type of date because they’re not as soft and chewy. Peanut butter: You can use any type of peanut butter here, from creamy to chunky. Crushed peanuts: The peanuts add that Snickers bar flair and infuse the peanuty flavor. Dark chocolate chips: We like using dark chocolate, but any type of chocolate works here. Coconut oil: The coconut oil helps to soften the chocolate so it has a Snickers bar-like texture. You can omit, but the chocolate becomes harder.
