Date Bark
Description
This Date Bark recipe utilizes pitted Medjool dates pressed closely on a parchment-lined baking sheet as a sticky base. Drizzled peanut butter spreads over the dates creating a creamy, nutty layer, which is then topped with chopped peanuts for texture. Dark chocolate chips melted with coconut oil are poured over the peanut layer and spread to coat the surface evenly. A sprinkle of flaky sea salt enhances the flavors by balancing the sweetness.
The bark is chilled in the freezer until the chocolate sets firmly, allowing it to be sliced into pieces. The combination delivers a soft, chewy date base alongside the smooth peanut butter and crunchy nuts, complemented by the snap of dark chocolate and a hint of salt.
Leftovers are best stored refrigerated or frozen; freezing will harden the dates, so it’s recommended to let the bark warm slightly before eating for easier biting.
Ingredients
- 10-12 date Medjool, pitted
- 2 Tablespoons peanut butter drippy
- 2 Tablespoons peanut chopped
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- sea salt flaky
Instructions
- Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper. Split dates open and press down each one down onto the sheet, making sure they overlap a little so they stick together.
- Drizzle peanut butter on top and use a spoon so spread it across the dates. Sprinkle on chopped peanuts.
- Melt chocolate with coconut oil and drizzle it on. Use a spoon to spread it around so it coats everything.
- Sprinkle on flaky sea salt and pop the baking sheet into the freezer for 10-15 minutes, or until the chocolate has set. Remove from the freezer, chop the bark into 10 pieces and enjoy.
- Store leftovers in the fridge or freezer. If you’re storing in the freezer, the dates will get pretty hard so let the bark sit out a few minutes before biting into it.
