This super easy chocolate date bark has gone absolutely viral on social media, and for good reason! This yummy bark combines sweet medjool dates with creamy peanut butter and chopped nuts for really delicious sweet treat.
INGREDIENTS
- 2.5 cups dates
- 1/3 cup peanut butter melted
- 1/4 cup walnuts chopped
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- 1.5 cups chocolate chips semi-sweet or dark chocolate
INSTRUCTIONS
-
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
-
Slice dates open so that you’re able to flatten them. Put the sticky side down and arrange them in a rectangle.
-
Using a cup with a flat bottom, press the dates down firmly and form a layer on the parchment paper so that the dates are pressed down evenly across the pan. To get them more even, place another parchment paper sheet on top and roll with a rolling pin.
-
Melt peanut butter in the microwave for 20-30 seconds. Drizzle evenly with peanut butter and then add the chopped walnuts on top.
-
Next, melt your chocolate. Put your chocolate + coconut oil in a microwave safe dish and microwave in 15-30 second increments until smooth. Mix in between microwave sessions.
-
Pour the chocolate over the date, peanut butter and walnut layer. Be sure to cover the entire layer with chocolate. Top with more walnut pieces if desired.
-
Place the date bark in the freezer for 20 minutes until set.
-
Slice into large pieces for serving (about 12-15 pieces)
