Three-ingredient date bark uses medjool dates, creamy peanut butter, and melted chocolate to create a no-bake dessert or snack. The ingredient list calls for 20 medjool dates, 1/2 cup peanut butter, 1/2 cup chocolate chips, and flaky salt. Dates are soaked in boiling water for ten minutes, split open and pitted, then arranged on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Peanut butter is layered over the dates and chocolate is melted and added as a finishing layer, with flaky salt sprinkled for contrast. The bark is chilled and broken into irregular pieces to serve, offering chewy, crunchy, sweet, and salty flavors.
Date bark is having a moment right now, and with good reason. The fact that it requires few ingredients and minimal cooking is one strong selling point, as is the fact that one of those ingredients is naturally sweet, deeply yummy, nutritious, and fiber-filled dates. There's something magical about the simplicity of turning 3 ingredients into a fancy dessert or nutritious snack. It's no surprise that making date bark is one of those trends that's here to stay.
Sweet and chewy medjool dates make up the base of the bark, creamy (protein-packed) peanut butter is the next layer, and rich melted chocolate finishes things off. The result is a chewy and crunchy, sweet and salty masterpiece that even gains extra charm because of the irregular shapes it's broken into. It's special enough to dress up for the holidays, yet casual enough for an after-school snack.
