If you love snickers, you're going to love these even more.

They taste indulgent, come together in minutes, and are made with simple, wholesome ingredients.

Ingredients

Better Than Snickers Dates

• 16-18 Large Medjool Dates, Pitted
• 1C Creamy Peanut Butter
• 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
• Ground Cinnamon
• Coconut Oil or Grass Fed Butter
• Pinch of Sea Salt
• 1/4C Roasted Salted Peanuts, roughly chopped
• 1C Chocolate Chips
• Flaky Sea Salt for topping

Instructions

1. Line a small loaf pan or 9 - inch pan with parchment paper.
2. Press the dates into an even layer, slightly overlapping to create a "crust". I put another piece of parchment paper down and used a tenderizer to smash them down pretty well.
3. In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the peanut butter just until smooth.
4. Stir in the vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sea salt until combined.
5. Spread the peanut butter mixture evenly over the dates.
6. Sprinkle the chopped roasted peanuts over the peanut butter layer and gently press them in.
7. Melt the chocolate chips (and coconut oil) until smooth, than spread over the peanut butter.
8. Finish with flaky sea salt.
9. Freeze for about 1 hour, or refrigerate for 2-3 hours, until firm.
10. Slice into 12 bars and enjoy.
