Peanut Butter Date Bark (easy Take 5 candy bar dupe)
This peanut butter date bark is made with dates, peanut butter, pretzels, and chocolate for the perfect sweet and salty no-bake treat. It tastes like a Take 5 candy bar but comes together with just a handful of simple ingredients.
Ingredients
- 12-14 Medjool dates pitted
- ⅓ cup peanut butter or any nut/seed butter
- ½ cup crushed pretzels
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil optional
- flaky sea salt for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Line a small sheet pan, cutting board, or baking dish with parchment paper.
- Arrange the dates in a single layer. Place another sheet of parchment paper on top and press or roll into an even layer.
- Spread peanut butter evenly over the date layer. Sprinkle crushed pretzels over the peanut butter and gently press down.
- Melt chocolate chips (and coconut oil if using) until smooth. Spread melted chocolate evenly over the pretzel layer. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired.
- Freeze for about an hour, or until firm. Break or cut into 12 pieces and enjoy.
Notes
- If your dates are dry, soak them in warm water for 5-10 minutes before using.
- Store in the freezer for the best texture.
- Use creamy peanut butter for easiest spreading.
- Coconut oil helps create a smoother chocolate topping but can be omitted.
