I know I’m a little late to the game when it comes to trying these “snicker” inspired stuffed dates, but better late than never! I will say, they are way better than I was expecting, so definitely worth a try 🙂

These make for such a great nutrient dense snack – why? Let’s breakdown the main ingredients ⤵️

Dried Dates

• Supports Digestion: high in fiber
• Aids in Bone Health: source of calcium, magnesium, and phosphorous
• Heart Healthy: good source of antioxidants and may lower cholesterol levels

Peanut Butter

• Increases satiety (feeling of fullness): good source of protein and fiber
• Aids in Muscle Repair: good source of protein
• Supports Blood Sugar Control: good source of protein, fiber, and healthy fats
• Heart Healthy: good source of healthy fats

Ingredients:

• Dried Dates (I used Good & Gather Pitted Dates)
• Nut Butter of your choosing
• Optional toppings: melted chocolate, sea salt, crushed nuts, coconut flakes

Steps:

1. Prep the Dates: Slice each date lengthwise on one side to open them up. Remove the pit.
2. Stuff with Peanut Butter: Use a small spoon or butter knife to fill each date with about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of peanut butter.
3. Add Optional Toppings: Sprinkle in a few chopped nuts, drizzle with melted chocolate, or top with coconut flakes. A tiny pinch of flaky sea salt also brings out amazing flavor.
4. Chill (Optional): Pop them in the fridge for 10–15 minutes if you want them a little firmer or want to serve them chilled.
5. Serve & Enjoy: Eat them right away or store in an airtight container in the fridge for a few days.
