- Melt dairy-free chocolate in a double boiler or microwave and spread it over the puréed date blend on the matzo crackers. Optionally, sprinkle on course salt.

Notes
- Use good-quality ingredients: For the best flavors, use high-quality Medjool dates, peanut butter, matza crackers, and vegan chocolate.
- To break the bark: Use a knife for even-sized pieces or break it roughly into large shards.
- Check labels: If you’re keeping kosher, make sure to check the labels of your chosen ingredients to ensure they bear an OU symbol.
