What are the health benefits of eating dates
- They are a great natural sweetener, where natural sugars are bound with fiber, making them slowly absorbable.
- Dates are rich in various microelements and phytonutrients, like potassium, iron, copper, magnesium.
- Due to their high fiber content, they improve your gut health and fight constipation.
- Dates are a powerhouse of antioxidants that reduce oxidative stress and prevent DNA-damage.
How to make Healthy Vegan Snickers
This might be the easiest and tastiest treat you will ever make. It takes only 3 simple steps.
Step 1: Remove the pits from the dates using a small knife. Make a small cut lengthwise.
Step 2: Take about a half teaspoon of peanut butter and fill each date with it.
Step 3: Dip the dates one by one in melted chocolate. I used two forks to cover each side. Then, place them on a dish lined with parchment paper and sprinkle some ground peanuts on top of each date. Refrigerate for about 10 mins or until the chocolate has firmed.

Useful Tips
- If your peanut butter is runny, put it in the fridge the night before or freeze it for a while until it hardens a bit.
- I use two forks to cover the dates in chocolate and easily remove the extra amount.
- Put your chocolate-covered dates on a dish lined with parchment paper so you can easily remove them afterwards.

What makes the peanut butter look like it is melting or has liquid added to it?
Hi MaryAnn,
That effect comes from using a slightly runnier peanut butter. I opted for a more fluid consistency to enhance the texture and flavor. It adds a lovely creaminess without the need for extra liquids.
Impatient? Just smash a potted date, drizzle PB on top, throw on a chocolate chip per bite you intend to take (3 small bites is what I can usually get) and enjoy. So yummy!
Great idea!😊 Thanks for sharing!
