Dates + Peanut Butter + Dark Choc = Snickers. Really!
We’re back into it, parents! Work, school drop-offs, after-school activities—it’s all systems go! And if your days look anything like mine, you barely have a second to sit down, let alone make a snack.
I’ll be honest—when I’m rushing between tasks, I usually grab whatever is quick (ahem, TimTams). And often that wasn’t always the healthiest choice. But lately, I’ve been trying to have healthier option that actually keep me going without the sugar crash. And this one? A total game-changer.
The Snack That Feels Too Good to Be True
I definitely did not invent this combo, but the first time I tried it, I was shocked at how much it tastes like a Snickers bar (which I love). I thought I'd share it here in case you are also wanting to have healthier snacks. It takes 2 minutes to make too and I am not joking.
All you need is (in brackets is what Google says why it's good for us) :
✔ Dates – Naturally sweet and packed with fiber for sustained energy
✔ Peanut Butter – A great source of protein and healthy fats to keep us full
✔ Dark Chocolate – Loaded with antioxidants and just the right amount of indulgence
✔ Sea Salt Flakes – Balance the flavour and I love the little 'bites' from the flakes
How to Make It (takes 2 Minutes!)
- Slice open a medjool date and remove the pit.
- Fill the center with a teaspoon of peanut butter.
- Dip or drizzle with melted dark chocolate.
- Sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt flakes.
- Let it set in the fridge
So parents, I hope this little tasty snack hack helps. If I find anything else, I will be sure to share. Have a lovely day! x
