Date Snickers made with Medjool dates, peanut butter, puffed rice and dark chocolate—your new go-to treat that’s sweet, salty, and secretly healthy.

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 12 date snickers 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large Medjool dates, soft and pitted
  • 1/4 cup natural creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup roasted peanuts, chopped
  • 4 oz dark chocolate bar, chopped
  • A few tablespoons puffed rice cereal
  • Optional toppings: flaky sea salt or more crushed peanuts

 

Instructions

  1. Slice each date down the center lengthwise without cutting all the way through. Remove pits.
  2. Spoon peanut butter into each date cavity, just enough to fill without overflowing.
  3. Sprinkle chopped roasted peanuts over the peanut butter filling.
  4. Melt chopped dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
  5. Stir in puffed rice cereal into the melted chocolate for crunch.
  6. Dip each stuffed date into the chocolate mixture, fully coating or drizzling as desired.
  7. Place on a parchment-lined tray and sprinkle with flaky salt or extra peanuts if using.
  8. Refrigerate for 10 minutes or freeze until set. Enjoy straight from the fridge or freezer!

Notes

  • Use soft, fresh Medjool dates for best texture—skip the dry ones.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Let frozen snickers sit at room temp for 2–3 minutes for a softer bite.
  • For vegan version: use dairy-free dark chocolate and plant-based peanut butter.
  • For nut-free version: use sunflower seed butter and skip peanuts or sub pumpkin seeds.
