Snickies: Date Snickers Treat

These Snickies are my new favorite meal prep treat! This date snickers treat has dates with a glob of "cookie dough" (almond butter and chopped peanuts with oats) that you freeze then coat in chocolate and top with sea salt flakes. Does it get any better?! It's also refined sugar-free, vegan, and gluten-free: what a win win win!

I'm calling them "Snickies" because it's an adorable bite sized healthier for you Snickers where there's chocolate, peanuts, and the dates are like caramel. I hope you enjoy (it would be hard not to!)!

Dates- Nature's Candy!

These treats are refined sugar-free and have a base of dates – nature's candy! Dates are not just deliciously sweet; they're a powerhouse of nutrition! They offer fiber, essential minerals like potassium and magnesium, and they're a great natural substitute for sugar.

Almond Butter "Cookie Dough"

The middle layer of these Snickies is a "cookie dough" mixture with peanuts. I can't call it cookie dough, because it's mostly almond butter. BUT, it has a similar consistency and is more fun if we can call it cookie dough.

It consists of almond butter, oat flour, maple syrup, vanilla, and then some peanuts. The peanuts add a crunch that balances the caramel like texture of the dates and the hardness of the melted chocolate with a nutty note.

Storage of Your Date Snickers Treat

This recipes makes about 20 snickies, I doubt you'll need to store them for a while. If you do, they can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 week. You can also store them in the freezer for up to 4 weeks, in an airtight container. I personally prefer to eat mine out of the freezer, but I do love one out of the fridge every now and then.
