Flatten the Dates – Arrange chewy Medjool dates in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet, pressing them together to form a solid base. For best texture, place them between 2 sheets of parchment paper and gently pound flat with a rolling pin.
Spread the Nut Butter – Using a spoon or spatula, spread an even layer of cashew butter over the dates.
Drizzle the Chocolate – Pour the melted dark chocolate over the nut butter, spreading it evenly.
Top it Off – Sprinkle with crunchy nuts or seeds and flaky sea salt.
Chill & Set – Freeze for at least 30 minutes until firm.
Cut Into Pieces – Once set, cut into squares and store in freezer. Enjoy!

Notes

Variations Crunchy – Add puffed rice or toasted coconut for texture. Spiced – Mix a pinch of cinnamon or chili powder into the chocolate for a warm or spicy kick. PB&J Inspired – Dot with dried cranberries or freeze-dried strawberries before freezing. This homemade chocolate date bark is an easy, no-bake dessert that keeps well in the fridge for a grab-and-go healthy snack. Try it once, and it might just replace your favorite candy bar!
