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 Snickers nougat-like filling is made with dairy-free yogurt, I used coconut yogurt, and unsweetened peanut butter. To make the mixture more smooth and creamy, heat the peanut butter in the microwave for 20-30 seconds before whisking into the yogurt.
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.
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.
If you’re a fan of frozen yogurt, chocolate, and dates, then you’ll love these “Snickers” Frozen Yogurt Chocolate Covered Date Bites! They’re a delicious and refreshing way to satisfy your sweet tooth.

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.
