Date Snickers Recipe

Ingredients:

• 20 Medjool dates, pitted
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 2/3 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 cup chopped peanuts
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt (optional)
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)
• 1/4 teaspoon chili powder (optional, for a spicy kick)

Instructions:

1. Prepare dates: Pit dates and arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
2. Roll dates: Cover with another sheet of parchment paper and roll with a rolling pin to flatten into a rectangle.
3. Spread peanut butter: Remove top layer of parchment paper and spread peanut butter evenly over dates.
4. Melt chocolate: Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl. Stir until smooth.
5. Drizzle chocolate: Drizzle melted chocolate over peanut butter layer.
6. Add toppings: Sprinkle with chopped peanuts, chili powder (if using), and kosher salt.
7. Refrigerate: Refrigerate until chocolate is firm, about 1 hour.
8. Cut and serve: Cut into Snickers-sized bars.

Optional additions:

• For extra sweetness: Add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
• For a crunchy texture: Add chopped almonds, cashews, or walnuts.
• For a tangy flavor: Add a squeeze of lemon juice or orange zest to the peanut butter.
