These amazing Chocolate Covered Snickers Stuffed Dates are made with a few ingredients. You only need 4 ingredients to make them!

Medjool Dates

You can buy pitted dates or buy pre pitted dates. They are available to buy from most supermarkets.

Peanut Butter

My preferred peanut butter is Pip and Nut’s smooth peanut butter but any natural smooth peanut butter can be used here. You can use unsalted peanut butter if you prefer.

Peanuts

Small peanuts or chopped larger peanuts add added crunch, texture and snickers flavour!

Milk or Dark chocolate

I use a milk Belgian chocolate. You can also use a dairy free chocolate for a vegan option.

Salt

A pinch of flaky sea salt helps bring out the natural sweetness of the dates and chocolate.
