Ingredients
– 10-12 medjool dates, pitted
– 2 tablespoons drippy natural peanut butter
– 2 tablespoons chopped peanuts
– ยฝ cup chocolate chips
– 1 teaspoon refined coconut oil
– Flaky sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions
1- Creating this date bark is straightforward and fun, starting with simple steps that lead to a rewarding result. Begin by preparing your workspace, gathering all ingredients, and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. This ensures everything goes smoothly from start to finish.
2- Pit and chop the medjool dates, then spread them flat on the sheet, slightly overlapping so they stick together. Next, drizzle the peanut butter over the dates and spread it evenly with a spoon for a smooth layer. Follow by sprinkling the chopped peanuts on top of the peanut butter layer.
3- Melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 20 seconds until smooth, and then drizzle or spread it over the dates. Finally, sprinkle flaky sea salt on top and place the baking sheet in the freezer for 10-15 minutes until the chocolate sets. Once done, remove and chop the bark into about 10 pieces for serving.
4- Start with preparing your workspace by gathering all ingredients and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pit the medjool dates and spread them out as the base. This sets the foundation for a sturdy bark.
5- Add the peanut butter and peanuts next, ensuring even coverage. Melting the chocolate with coconut oil helps it set perfectly, adding that glossy finish. These layers build the flavor and texture that make this treat special.
6- After adding the salt, freeze and cut the bark for the perfect pieces. The recipe can be tailored by swapping nuts or adding spices, fitting your preferences or what’s in season. For more baking inspiration, try our chocolate chip banana bread for a complementary sweet option.
