Ingredients

  • 12 Dates, pitted
  • 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup peanuts, chopped
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1-2 tsp. coconut oil
  • coarse sea salt (optional)

Instructions

  • Slice each date lengthwise without cutting all the way through. Gently open them and remove pits if needed. Lay flat on parchment paper.
    Dates cut in half.
  • Spoon about 1 tsp. peanut butter inside each date. Be sure not to overfill. You'll want just enough to create a creamy center.

  • Sprinkle chopped peanuts or mixed nuts over the peanut butter. Press lightly to make them stick. This will give it the classic Snickers crunch.

  • In a microwave safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with 1 tsp. coconut oil in 20-30 second intervals, stirring frequently until nice and smooth.
