Today is Halloween & the bags of candy are on the counter ready to hand out to all the trick or treaters that come to our door tonight. Fun size Snickers are just one of the goodies that will be in the bowl.

For a few years now, I’ve heard of people making faux snickers by removing the pits of medjool dates, filling with peanut butter, & dipping in chocolate & every time I would hear people profess, “how it tastes just like a Snickers” I would roll my eyes & move on.

As someone who can admit when she was wrong, let me break out my bull horn & say, “I was wrong!” They do. They absolutely do! The date functions like the nougat, & if you fill it with a crunchy peanut butter then coat in melted milk chocolate, you, too, will be saying “It tastes like a Snickers!”

There’s no recipe, per se, just literally slice the date to remove the pit, fill with crunchy peanut butter, dip in melted milk (or dark) chocolate, place on parchment paper & once set, store in the refrigerator in a sealed container & voila!

Enjoy!
