Mo’s No-Bake Peanut Butter Date Bars

Instructions

1. Line a small tray or plate with baking paper.
2. Slice each date lengthwise on one side and remove the pit, keeping the date mostly intact so it opens like a little pocket.
3. Spoon about 1 tsp peanut butter into each date, then press in some chopped peanuts. Gently close the date around the filling.
4. Add the dark chocolate and coconut oil to a heatproof bowl. Melt in the microwave in 15-second bursts, stirring between each, or melt gently over a pan of barely simmering water until smooth.
5. Dip each stuffed date into the melted chocolate and turn to coat. Lift it out with a fork, let the excess drip off, then place it on the lined tray.
6. Sprinkle over a few extra chopped peanuts and a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt, if using.
7. Chill for 10 to 15 minutes until the chocolate sets.
8. Serve cold or at cool room temperature.
