How To Make “Snickers” Date Bark

1

Prepare the Dates: On a sheet of parchment paper, lay down your dates and flatten them with the bottom of a glass cup to form the base layer of the bark.

2

Layer the Peanut Butter: Spread a generous amount of peanut butter over the flattened dates.

3

Add the Crunch: Sprinkle crushed almonds and pretzels over the peanut butter for a crunchy texture.

4

Ice Cream Layer: Add a layer of vanilla ice cream on top of the nut mixture for a creamy, cold contrast (optional but recommended for a Snickers-like effect).

5

Melt the Chocolate: In a small bowl, heat the dark chocolate chips with a teaspoon of coconut oil until melted and smooth.

6

Drizzle and Freeze: Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top and sprinkle a pinch of sea salt. Place the bark in the freezer for at least 30 minutes to set.

7

Break and Enjoy: Once the bark is firm, break it into pieces and enjoy!
