DIY Snickers Bar
DIY Snickers Bar and how to make it using dates. This is a fantastically simple and yet amazingly delicious recipe that will then taste just like the name brand bars - for half the cost!
Ingredients
- 2 packages Dates
- Pecans whole
- Peanut Butter
- Chocolate melting
Instructions
- Firstly, in a double boiler, put enough water in the base to not touch the top layer, then set it on the stove to medium.
- Stir the chocolate often until it is melted completely, then turn the temperature to low to keep the chocolate melted.
- Open the package of whole dates, with pits, and use a sharp paring knife to cut the dates to the pit on only ONE side.
- Carefully open the date, to not break it all the way open, and remove the pit, then set aside and continue de-pitting all of the dates.
- Use a butter knife to smear peanut butter in the inside of all of the dates, around 1 teaspoon worth.
- Place a pecan piece into each date, making sure it lays flat in the peanut butter.
- Close each filled date so the seam closes and then set on a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Once all of the dates are filled and close, place the baking sheet into the freezer for 10-20 minutes to firm up the dates.
- Remove the baking sheet from the freezer and then place on the countertop by the double boiler with the melted chocolate.
- Using a fork to help move and dip the chocolate, coat each in turn in the melted chocolate and then place on the parchment paper.
- Once all of the dates are dipped and covered in chocolate, place the baking sheet back into the freezer for 20 minutes to firm up the chocolate.
- Remove the baking sheet from the freezer and break off any extra pieces of chocolate off of the dates.
- Then place them into an airtight container to store, with layers of parchment between layers of dates.
- Serve and enjoy!
