Smashed dates with peanut butter and chocolate are a quick, no-bake treat that tastes like a homemade candy bar. They combine sweet Medjool dates, creamy peanut butter, rich melted chocolate, and flaky sea salt for a perfect sweet and salty bite.
Ingredients
Scale
- 9 medjool dates
- 1/4 cup creamy or crunchy peanut butter
- 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions
- Slice each date lengthwise and remove the pit if needed. Place on a parchment-lined tray.
- Use the bottom of a glass to gently press each date flat into a disc shape.
