Peanut butter provides a source of healthy fats and protein, which can help keep you feeling full and satisfied. Peanuts are also a good source of protein and contain heart-healthy monounsaturated fats.

Ingredients:
1 cup pitted dates
1/4 cup natural peanut butter
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
A handful of unsalted peanuts
Directions:
1. Stuff your dates with nutty goodness
Start by selecting some plump and juicy Medjool dates. Gently split them down the middle, leaving them slightly attached at the bottom. Then, add a nut of your choice to each date's center. Want to stay true to the classic Snickers bar? Use peanuts! But feel free to get creative with other nuts like almonds or cashews. Now it's time to add a generous dollop of creamy peanut butter to each date, creating the perfect combination of nutty sweetness.
2. Dive into the chocolatey goodness What's a Snicker without its chocolate coating? Melt your favorite dark chocolate in a bowl, and get ready to dive in. Using a fork, skewer, or your fingers (yes, your fingers!), carefully dip each stuffed date into the melted chocolate, making sure it's completely coated. Then, place each chocolate-covered date on a wax paper-lined container.
3. Freeze, indulge, and repeat Your homemade Snicker candies are almost ready to be devoured! Pop the container of chocolatey goodness into the freezer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens. Once firm, it's time to indulge in a healthy and satisfying snack that's perfect for any time of day. The combination of sweet dates, nutty peanut butter, crunchy peanuts, and rich dark chocolate is simply irresistible. So go ahead, take a bite and experience the explosion of flavors and textures in your mouth. And don't worry, these Snicker candies are so easy to make that you'll want to repeat the process over and over again!
