Indulge your sweet tooth guilt-free with these homemade healthy snickers snack bars! Layers of chewy dates, natural peanut butter and dark chocolate make these a delicious snack with wholesome ingredients and no refined sugar!
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 dates (pitted and sliced lengthwise)
- 3/4 cup all natural creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Begin by lining an 8 x 8 inch baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- Prepare the dates by pitting them (if they haven't been already) and slicing them in half lengthwise. Line them up along the bottom of the pan.
- Stir the peanut butter well. Pour over the dates, making sure to cover them well.
- Melt the chocolate by combing the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a small bowl. Microwave in small 20-30 second increments, stirring frequently until the chocolate has melted and has combined with the oil.
- Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter, using an offset rubber spatula to gently spread it to the edges of the pan.
- Sprinkle chopped pecans over the top and add the pan to the fridge or freezer to cool and set for 1-2 hours and up to overnight.
- Once cooled, slice the bars into small squares. Enjoy!
Notes
- This recipe can easily be doubled.
- Feel free to substitute another kind of nut butter for the peanut butter. Almond butter would be delicious!
