Sweet Summer Smashed Dates
A delightful, healthy no-bake dessert featuring plump Medjool dates, creamy peanut butter, dark chocolate, and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt. Perfect for a summer treat!
Equipment
- Parchment-lined tray
- Glass (for flattening)
- Microwave-safe Bowl
Ingredients
- 9 Medjool dates plump
- 1/4 cup all-natural creamy peanut butter
- 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips opt for 70% or higher for a healthier twist
- pinch flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Carefully slice each date in half lengthwise and remove the pit. Arrange them on a parchment-lined tray.
- Gently flatten each date into a disc using the bottom of a glass. This makes them perfect for stuffing!
- Scoop a small dollop of peanut butter onto the center of each flattened date and spread it out evenly.
- Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second bursts, stirring well after each, until wonderfully smooth.
- Drizzle or fully coat each peanut butter-topped date with the melted chocolate. Get creative with your coverage!
- Immediately sprinkle a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt over the chocolate while it's still soft.
- Pop them into the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes, or the freezer for 10-15 minutes, until the chocolate is firm. Enjoy your delightful, healthy treat!
