Ingredients
- 20 Medjool Dates pitted; make sure that they are nice and soft!
- ⅓ Cup Creamy Peanut Butter
- ½ Cup Raw Peanuts
- 1 ½ Cups Chocolate Chips
- 1 Teaspoon Coconut Oil
- 1 Pinch Flaky Salt
Instructions
- To make this bark, start by preparing the dates: slice the dates open and remove the pits. Then, smash them down and line them up on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Next, spray a drinking glass with oil (I used coconut oil) and use the bottom of the glass to press the dates down and flatten them.
- Then, use a spoon to drizzle the peanut butter over the dates, and top with the crushed peanuts.
- Set the tray aside and add the chocolate chips and coconut oil to a small bowl.
- Melt the chocolate by placing the bowl into the microwave and heating it in 2-3, 30 second increments, being sure to stir in-between.
- Then, pour the melted chocolate on top of the date and peanut mixture, then refrigerate for one hour or freeze for 35 minutes, until the chocolate is set.
- Once done, sprinkle with flaky salt, break apart, and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container, in the fridge, for up to one week.
