Imagine biting into dates that taste just like Snickers bars! Today, I shared a simple recipe on the blog, and I’m thrilled to share it with you. These Medjool dates are transformed into Snickers-like treats by stuffing them with peanut butter and chopped peanuts for that perfect crunch. Then, they’re coated in chocolate to create the ultimate sweet indulgence inspired by everyone’s favorite chocolate bar.
Snickers Stuffed-Dates
Ingredients
- Medjool dates
- Peanut butter
- Roasted peanuts chopped
- Chocolate dark, milk, or semi-sweet
**Equipment:**
- Toothpicks
- Piping bag or ziplock bag optional
Instructions
- Begin by cutting each date open and removing the seed/pit. If you have pitted dates, you can skip this step.
- Transfer peanut butter to a piping bag or ziplock bag. Alternatively, use a spoon to fill each date with peanut butter and sprinkle chopped peanuts on top. Seal the dates shut by pressing at the top.
- Insert a toothpick into each date to make dipping easier. Alternatively, you can use a fork.
- If your dates are very soft, place them in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes to help them hold their shape.
- Melt the chocolate of your choice in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until fully melted.
- Dip each date in the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off, and place them on a tray or plate lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle chopped peanuts on top for added crunch.
- Place the dates in the fridge or freezer for a few minutes until the chocolate is firm to the touch.
- Remove the toothpicks and enjoy your delicious Snickers-inspired treats!
