When you’re craving something sweet but don’t want to heat up the oven or spend a lot of time making a dessert, these bites are the perfect solution! These “Snickers” Frozen Yogurt Chocolate Covered Date Bites are the perfect indulgence for those hot summer days. They’re remind me of Snickers ice cream bars, but in bite form and much healthier!

You’ll stuff dates with a peanut butter yogurt mixture that resembles the nougat in a snickers bar, then top with peanuts. The dates offer that caramel flavor, and of course we’re dunking them in chocolate! Add more crushed peanuts on top and OMG… I dare you to just eat one! 😉

The Ingredients

Dates. You will need 25-30 large, whole dates. If the dates you purchase are not pitted dates, you will need to remove the pits.

Yogurt. I used a dairy-free coconut yogurt but you may also use an oat milk yogurt, almond milk yogurt, cashew milk yogurt, or soy milk yogurt.

Peanut butter. You will need 1/2 cup of peanut butter, preferably unsweetened, to mix with the yogurt for the filling. I like using my Homemade Roasted Peanut Butter!

Peanuts. Adding whole peanuts on top of the nougat-like yogurt filling adds a delicious little crunch! You may also choose to sprinkle chopped/crush peanuts on top as well.

Chocolate. I like to use dark or semi-sweet dairy-free chocolate chips to coat the dates in.

Coconut oil. Melting a little coconut oil with the chocolate helps to keep the outer chocolate shell from cracking when you bite into these bites.

How To Make These Snickers Frozen Yogurt Chocolate Covered Date Bites

Start by removing the pits from your large, whole dates. You can buy them already pitted, but I find they are much fresher with the pits. remove the date pits by slicing a shallow line vertically down one side of the date, gently open the date and remove the pit.

To make the nougat-like filling, heat the peanut butter in the microwave for 20-30 seconds before whisking into the yogurt. Fill each date with the peanut butter yogurt and then top with peanuts! Place each filled date on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Once they are all stuffed, freeze for about 30 minutes.

Melt dairy-free dark chocolate chips in the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth. Fully submerge each date in the melted chocolate and cover it completely. I used a fork to do this. Place back onto the baking sheet and sprinkle the top with crushed peanuts. Place back into the freezer for 15-20 minutes to harden and enjoy! Keep them stored in the freezer and allow them to soften slightly before enjoying.

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Remove the pits from the dates. Melt the peanut butter for 20-30 seconds in the microwave and add to a bowl with the dairy-free yogurt. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
Spoon the peanut butter yogurt into the dates, add a few peanuts to each and freeze about 30 minutes.
Melt the chocolate chips with the coconut oil in the microwave (in 30 second increments) or in a glass bowl using the double broiler method. Gently roll each date in the chocolate until fully covered, I used a fork. Let the excess chocolate drip off the date and then place back onto the parchment lined baking sheet. After you place each date back onto the baking sheet, sprinkle the tops with crushed peanuts and place back in the freezer until hardened, 15-20 minutes. Keep them stored in the freezer.
