Ingredients
- 15 pieces Medjool dates (pitted and chopped)
- 1 cup smooth peanut butter (for creaminess)
- 3/4 cup salted peanuts (for crunch)
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate (melted for drizzling)
Instructions
- Prepare Dates: Pit and chop the Medjool dates into small pieces to create a sticky and sweet base for the bars.
- Mix with Peanut Butter: In a medium bowl, combine the chopped dates with smooth peanut butter, mixing thoroughly until well blended to ensure creaminess throughout.
- Add Peanuts: Gently fold in the salted peanuts to add a crunchy texture contrast to the smooth and sticky mixture.
- Press into Dish: Firmly press the mixture into a lined baking dish to compact the ingredients, shaping it into an even layer.
- Drizzle Chocolate: Melt the dark chocolate and evenly drizzle it over the pressed mixture to add a rich finishing touch.
- Refrigerate: Place the dish in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or until the bars have set and become firm enough to cut.
Notes
- Use Medjool dates for their natural sweetness and soft texture.
- Line the baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal of the bars.
- You can substitute salted peanuts with unsalted if sodium intake is a concern.
- For a nut-free version, substitute peanut butter and peanuts with seed butter and seeds.
- Store the bars in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to one week.
