Description

A no-bake layered treat featuring chewy Medjool dates, creamy peanut butter, crunchy chopped nuts, and a smooth dark chocolate shell, finished with flaky sea salt.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1012 large Medjool dates (approx. 250g)
  • 2 Tbsp natural peanut butter (approx. 30g)
  • 2 Tbsp chopped peanuts (approx. 30g)
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (approx. 90g)
  • 1 tsp coconut oil (approx. 5g)
  • 1/2 tsp flaky sea salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Pit and flatten the Medjool dates on the parchment to form a single cohesive layer.
  3. Spread peanut butter over the date layer evenly.
  4. Sprinkle chopped peanuts on top of the peanut butter layer.
  5. Melt dark chocolate chips with coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler until smooth.
  6. Pour melted chocolate evenly over the date and nut layer. Spread with a spatula.
  7. Place tray in freezer for 30 minutes or fridge for 1 hour until fully set.
  8. Once set, sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
  9. Cut or break into pieces and serve.

Notes

  • Use soft Medjool dates for best results. If dates are dry, soak briefly in hot water.
  • To ensure clean cuts, let bark rest at room temperature for 5 minutes after chilling.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.
