“Snickers” Date Snacks
Ingredients:
* 10 - 12 large medjool dates
* 2 TBSP Peanut Butter or Almond Butter
* Approx ¼ cup chopped peanuts (almonds or macadamia nuts work nicely too)
* ½ cup of dark chocolate chips (I like Lily’s Stevia Chips)
* 1 tsp coconut oil
Directions:
1. Slice the dates on top lengthwise & remove pits.
2. Spread ½ teaspoon of nut butter inside each date.
3. Sprinkle some chopped nuts on nut butter & close each date like a sandwich.
4. Melt chocolate chips in microwave, approx 30 sec - 1 minute.
5. Spoon melted chocolate over each date & set on waxed paper.
6. Sprinkle remaining nuts on top of dates.
7. Freeze for approx. 20 - 30 minutes & cut in half for bite size pieces.
8. Store in freezer, but let sit for 1 -2 minutes before enjoying a few pieces as a sweet treat!
