These Date Snickers Bars are a healthy no-bake dessert made with just 5 simple ingredients. Naturally sweet, chewy, and chocolatey, they taste like a classic Snickers bar without refined sugar.
Line a loaf pan with parchment paper. Cut a second rectangle of parchment paper, a few inches longer than the bottom of the loaf pan. You’ll need the second piece to smash the dates.

Carefully slice a pocket into each date to remove the pit as shown in the video.
Arrange your sliced dates in a single layer in your loaf pan, then top with the second sheet of prepared parchment paper and using the bottom of a cup, start pressing down on the dates, smashing them to get an even layer.
Drizzle or spread your nut butter evenly on the dates.
Sprinkle evenly with the chopped peanuts.
Melt your chocolate together with the coconut oil in the microwave on High, in quick 30 seconds increments, stirring after each increment. (Alternatively, you can use a double boiler over the stove.)
Once the chocolate is melted, drizzle over the dates and nuts and spread evenly with a spatula.
Freeze for at least 1 hour.
Remove from the pan and slice into mini bars.
Keep any leftovers wrapped tightly in the freezer for up to 2 months, or in the fridge for 2 weeks.
