Chocolate Date Bars (No-Bake Peanut Butter & Chocolate Bars)
Easy no-bake Chocolate Date Bars made with dates, peanut butter, crunchy nuts, and rich chocolate. A healthy homemade snack perfect for energy and dessert cravings.
Ingredients
- 25 pitted dates
- 200 g peanut butter
- 50 g cashews and walnuts chopped
- 100 g dark chocolate
- 100 g milk chocolate
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
- Arrange the dates tightly in a lined tray.
- Spread peanut butter evenly over the dates.
- Sprinkle chopped cashews and walnuts on top.
- Melt dark and milk chocolate together.
- Add 2 tbsp oil and mix until smooth.
- Pour chocolate over the mixture and spread evenly.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Cut into bars and serve.
Notes
- Use soft, fresh dates for a naturally sticky base (soak in warm water for 10 minutes if they are dry).
- Press the dates tightly together so the base holds well when cutting.
- Let peanut butter sit at room temperature for easier spreading.
- Chop nuts finely for better texture and even crunch in every bite.
- Don’t skip the oil in melted chocolate—it makes the topping smoother and shinier.
- Chill long enough (at least 1 hour) so the bars set properly before cutting.
- Use a sharp knife warmed in hot water for clean slices.
- Add a pinch of sea salt on top to balance sweetness and enhance chocolate flavor.
