When I came across this TikTok Video for these Chocolate Covered Dates I knew I had to make them ASAP! And after a little digging, I think the credit for this genius recipe belongs to Eating Bird Food!

Steps
Line a small pan or freezer-safe plate with parchment paper and set aside.
If the dates are not already sliced when purchased, use a paring knife to slice down one side and butterfly them open.
Add the peanut butter to a piping bag and cut off the tip. Pipe the peanut butter into one side of the date.
Top the peanut butter with crushed peanuts then close up the dates and secure with a toothpick.
Add the chocolate chips and coconut oil to a deep wide-mouthed glass and melt at 30-second intervals, stirring between each one, until fully melted.
Use the toothpicks to dip the dates into the chocolate and transfer to the parchment to set. Use another toothpick to help slide the original ones out.
Sprinkle with additional chopped nuts and flaky salt and drizzle with extra chocolate.
Chill in the freezer for 15 minutes until the chocolate has set.
Notes
- Chocolate melting wafers may also be used in this recipe, if used, you do not need to add coconut oil.
- Sugar-free peanut butter can be used, the dates add enough natural sweetness.
- A dairy-free chocolate chip can be used to make this recipe vegan.
- In my opinion, the flaky salt is a MUST. This changes the whole flavor of the treat and really makes it taste like a snickers bar. Otherwise you really just get sweet with a note of bitterness from the dark chocolate.
