Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Cooling Time: 10-20 minutes

Total Time: 40 minutes

Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Viral Date Bark

  • 12 pitted medjool dates
  • 1/4 cup drippy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons chopped peanuts*
  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips (we used no-sugar added)
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • Sea salt (flaky sea salt preferred)

*Note: Unsweetened shredded coconut and almonds are a great “Almond Joy” alternative. Use your toppings of choice. 

Instructions

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (we used plastic wrap on a plate as an alternative).
  2. Split the dates open and press each one down onto the sheet, making sure that they overlap a little so they stick together.
  3. Drizzle peanut butter on top and use a spoon so spread it across the dates. Sprinkle on the chopped nuts. 
  4. In a small microwavable bowl, melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil. Drizzle the chocolate over the bark, using a spoon to spread it in an even layer.
  5. Sprinkle on the sea salt and place the baking sheet into the freezer for 10-15 minutes, or until the chocolate has set. Remove from the freezer and cut the bark into 8 pieces.
  6. Store the leftovers in the fridge or freezer. Note, if you’re storing it in the freezer, the dates will get pretty hard. Let the bark sit out a few minutes before biting into it.
