The Chocolate-Covered Dates Recipe That Tastes Like Snickers
Prep Time:
50 minutes
Cook Time:
Servings:
18 Dates
Ingredients
  • 12 ounces pitted Medjool dates (about 18–22 dates)
  • 1 cup marshmallow fluff
  • 2 tablespoons smooth peanut butter
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • ¼ cup chopped salted peanuts + more for garnish
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt
Directions
  1. Place a piece of parchment paper on a large cutting board or on the countertop.
  2. Cut a slit into each date (if not already cut), opening them slightly to make room for the filling.
  3. In a medium bowl, stir together the marshmallow fluff, peanut butter, and powdered sugar.
  4. Spoon 1–2 teaspoons of filling into each date, depending on the size of the date.
  5. Add a sprinkle of chopped peanuts into each date (about ½ teaspoon each).
  6. Pinch each date closed as best you can (you will still see some filling).
  7. Place the chocolate chips in the microwave for 30 seconds. Stir and repeat microwaving the chocolate in 30-second intervals, until just barely melted. Stir until smooth.
  8. Dip each date into the melted chocolate, scraping the bottom of the date on the side of the bowl to remove any excess chocolate. Place on the parchment paper.
  9. Sprinkle each date with a pinch of flaky sea salt and/or additional chopped peanuts while the chocolate is still wet.
  10. Let the chocolate harden completely at room temperature, and serve.
