Dates
Peanut Butter Layer
- 6 tsp smooth peanut butter
- 20g salted peanuts, roughly chopped
Chocolate Topping
- 60g dark chocolate, melted
- Prepare Dates: Remove the stones from the Medjool dates by carefully slicing them open and taking the pits out. Press each pitted date firmly into round cupcake silicon molds to create a sturdy base.
- Add Peanut Butter and Peanuts: Spoon one teaspoon of smooth peanut butter on top of each date in the mold. Sprinkle a few chopped salted peanuts over the peanut butter to add a crunchy texture.
- Drizzle Dark Chocolate: Melt the dark chocolate until smooth, then drizzle it generously over each date, covering the peanut butter and peanuts layer.
- Freeze: Place the filled molds in the freezer for about an hour to allow the chocolate to set and the flavors to meld.
- Serve: Remove the Date Snickers treats from the molds and serve chilled as a delightful snack or dessert.
Notes
- Use fresh, soft Medjool dates for the best texture and flavor.
- For a nut-free version, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter and omit the peanuts.
- Ensure the dark chocolate is melted gently using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts to avoid burning.
- Store leftover treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- These make great party snacks and can be customized with different nuts or chocolate types.
