Directions:
- Slice the pitted dates open and press them into a pan lined with wax or parchment paper.

- Add peanuts on top. If your peanuts are unsalted, sprinkle with a little salt.

Why This Treat Is a Healthier Choice
Dates are naturally sweet and full of fiber, which helps balance blood sugar levels compared to traditional candy bars. Peanut butter and peanuts provide plant-based protein and healthy fats, making these bites more filling. Dark chocolate contains antioxidants and less sugar than milk chocolate. Together, these ingredients create a treat that tastes decadent while being a smarter choice for your body.
