DATE BARK🍫

Ingredients

• 1 cup Medjool Dates (pitted, roughly chopped; sticky dates help the bark hold together)
• 1/4 cup Peanut Butter (creamy, unsweetened; can be warmed slightly for easier spreading)
• 1/4 cup Roasted Peanuts (unsalted, roughly chopped for crunch)
• 1/8 teaspoon Salt (fine sea salt, pinch only)
• 100 g Dark Chocolate (70% cocoa, chopped for melting)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Date Base

   Remove pits from the dates, chop them roughly, spread them on a parchment‑lined baking sheet and press lightly so they stick together in an even layer.

   Time: PT5M

2. Add Nut Butter and Crunch

   Warm the peanut butter for 10‑15 seconds in the microwave, drizzle it over the date layer, sprinkle the chopped peanuts and a pinch of salt, then gently press the peanuts into the mixture.

   Time: PT5M

3. Melt the Chocolate

   Place the chopped dark chocolate in a microwave‑safe bowl and melt in 30‑second intervals, stirring between each burst until smooth.

   Time: PT5M

4. Drizzle Chocolate Over the Bark

   Using a spoon or a small piping bag, drizzle the melted chocolate over the prepared base in thin lines or a full coating, as desired.

   Time: PT3M

5. Refrigerate to Set

   Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm and the bark holds together.

   Time: PT30M

6. Cut and Serve

   Remove the set bark from the parchment paper, use a sharp knife to cut into 12 equal bars or squares, and serve immediately or store.

   Time: PT2M
