Ingredients
Let's gather the ingredients!
- 18 dates pitted
- ⅓ cup peanut butter
- ⅓ cup shredded coconut
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
For the melted chocolate
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- ⅓ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
Let's Begin!
- Start by soaking the pitted dates in hot water for 10 minutes. You can boil 2 cups of water and soak the dates in that.
- After 10 minutes, strain the dates to remove any excess water.
- In a blender, combine the soaked dates, peanut butter, shredded coconut, and vanilla extract. Blend until you have a smooth mixture.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Pour the date mixture onto the parchment paper and press it down firmly to create a rectangular shape.
- Place the tray in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Once the date mixture has been set, prepare the melted chocolate. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the coconut oil and chocolate chips. Microwave for about 1 1/2 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully melted.
- Cut the date bar into squares and fully coat each square in the melted chocolate.
- Sprinkle the coated bars with sea salt for added flavor, then return them to the freezer.
- Allow the bars to freeze for a few more hours until the chocolate is set.
- Finally, enjoy your delicious date and peanut butter bars straight from the freezer!
Notes
You can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a month.
