Ingredients

12 dates- pitted
12 Saltine crackers
1/4 cup peanut butter
5 oz chocolate
1/2 TBS butter
salt

Instructions

On parchment paper, remove the pits of 12 dates and place them flat on the parchment in a row of 3x4. Take a rolling pin and roll them flat into a nice rectangle. Place parchment paper and dates onto a cookie sheet with lip.
Spread a layer of peanut butter on the dates and neatly arrange 12 saltine crackers on top.
In a heat safe container add 5oz. chocolate bar, or chocolate chips, and 1/2 TBS. butter. Microwave in short 20 second bursts until melted, stirring after each burst.
Note- Keep in mind not to microwave the chocolate for too long as it can seize and become un-spreadable.
Sprinkle with coarse salt and desired toppings such as crushed pretzels or chopped nuts.
Chill the date bark dessert in the refrigerator until fully set. Slice into 12 squares using the saltine crackers as your guide. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Toppings- Once you pour the warmed chocolate, and before it sets in the refrigerator, try different toppings such as crushed pretzels, cranberries, or nuts.
