Here's another in my series of "Tiktok made me do it" posts.
I kept seeing people make this healthier Snickers treat and just had to try it myself.
I didn't use an exact recipe but got the general gist of the recipe and gathered my supplies.
Recipe:
Soft Medjool Dates-I used the Trader Joe's pitted date for extra laziness
Drippy Peanut butter-I used Kirkland brand
Chocolate chips-I used semi sweet
Peanuts-chopped (I used salted)
Flaky salt (optional)
To make:
- Split the dates in half and remove pit (if applicable). Press dates onto a wax paper lined tray and place right next to each other. I used 16 dates.
- Cover with waxed paper and press down to make sure the dates are touching each other and flattened out. I used a rolling pin to press the dates out.
- Pour peanut butter over the dates and spread to cover. I didn't measure but I'd say I used about 2 heaping tablespoons of peanut butter.
- Melt chocolate chips and pour over the peanut butter layer. Spread to cover all of the dates. I used about 1/2 cup of chocolate chips.
- Some people added a sprinkle of flaky salt here but I left that out because the peanuts were salted but I think the added salt would have been just fine.
- Sprinkle the peanuts over the chocolate.
- Freeze or refrigerate until chocolate has firmed up.
- Cut into squares. I keep mine in the fridge.
Enjoy a healthy-ish Snickers like treat!

Wow that sounds divine!!
Heather, I've seen this all over social media and it looks like a nice snack and healthier than a snickers bar. I like that you can take small pieces of it. Thanks for sharing the recipe to make it.
I love dates so much - how could this be anything less than wonderful...I am adding it to my list of things to do.
YUM!!! I have all the ingredients. :-)
I’m so happy to see a fellow date lover! I make these all the time. I even included them one year on my Christmas trays. You do know the story about how eating a date a day helped lower my total cholesterol? It worked for about three years but now it’s creeping back up again, despite still eating a date a day, lol.
OOOH...looks great - and my husband loves Snickers, so I will try this soon!
I have made both the bark and individual stuffed dates as well and everyone loves them.
These look so good! I'm not on TT so I need a more old fashioned way to receive the viral TT trends (though one of my daughters keeps me informed of some TT trends when I see her!). You could even sub lower sugar chocolate chips though that would make them taste less like Snickers.
I don't think I've ever eaten dates before but these look delicious!
Have seen this viral recipe as well, and maybe I should make some for the grandkids for this weekend. Saw this awesome post at Talking About it Tuesdays

Looks and sounds amazing. Saw it being featured at SSPS#351. My posts are #50 thru 54. I look forward to reading many of the posts and learning about what other bloggers find interesting and/or fun. Nancy Andres @ Colors 4 Health.
