Snickers Stuffed Dates (Healthy Candy Hack) - A Better-For-You Sweet Treat

Prep Time 15 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes
Servings 12 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 12 Medjool dates, pitted (soft and plump works best)
  • 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter (natural or no-stir both work)
  • 1/4 cup roasted peanuts, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (for smoother melting; optional)
  • Flaky sea salt, for topping (optional but recommended)

Instructions
 

  • Prep the dates: If they aren’t already pitted, slice each date lengthwise and remove the pit. Don’t cut all the way through—keep a “hinge.”
  • Fill with peanut butter: Use about 1 teaspoon per date. You want a generous but not overflowing dollop.
  • Add crunch: Press a few chopped peanuts into the peanut butter. This gives that signature Snickers texture.
  • Chill for easy dipping: Place the stuffed dates on a lined tray and freeze for 10–15 minutes so they firm up.
  • Melt the chocolate: Microwave chocolate chips with coconut oil in 20–30 second bursts, stirring between, until silky. Or melt over a double boiler.
  • Dip or drizzle: Using a fork, dip each chilled date to coat, or drizzle chocolate over the top for a lighter finish. Tap off excess.
  • Finish with salt: Sprinkle flaky sea salt while the chocolate is still wet.
  • Set and serve: Let the chocolate harden at room temp or pop the tray in the fridge for 10–15 minutes. Enjoy chilled or slightly softened.
