Ingredients
- 12 oz package Medjool Date
- 1/2 cup peanut butter, thick and creamy
- 1/2 cup melted semi-sweet, milk, or dark chocolate
- 1/4 cup chopped peanuts
- flakey sea salt, to taste
Method
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Split the dates down the middle and take out the pits.
- Press each date flat onto the parchment, inside facing down, packing them tightly side by side until they form a single sheet.
- Spread a thin layer of peanut butter over the dates.
- Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl on low power in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until it runs smooth.
- Pour the chocolate over the peanut butter layer and spread it thin with the back of a spoon or a spatula.
- Scatter the chopped peanuts and flaky sea salt over the wet chocolate.
- Refrigerate the tray for 20 to 30 minutes until the chocolate is set and firm, then move the bark to a board and cut it into pieces of your chosen size, storing any leftovers airtight in the fridge.
