*Satisfy your sweet tooth with this no bake Date Bark that is vegan, gluten-free, and guilt-free, made from nature's candy, medjool dates. Layered with peanut butter, crunchy peanuts and draped in luscious dark chocolate.*

 

You might have seen the **Viral Date Bark** floating around the internet and I'm here to say it is an easy, delectable sweet treat that will easily become a lazy girl's bff. This no bake treat is **vegan**, **gluten free**, **dairy free**, **refined sugar free** and made with **four simple ingredients**. It's like an undressed stuffed date--now that is sexy🥵 

 

 

Just like [stuffed dates](https://blog.joolies.com/5-ways-to-stuff-dates), the flavor combinations for date bark knows no bounds! Made to match what ever mood you are in, let your palate take the driver's seat! Today, we're going with a snickers style date bark, which is basically our [Snickers Stuffed Dates](https://blog.joolies.com/snickers-stuffed-dates) undressed. I'm a firm believer that [medjool dates](https://joolies.com/collections/all/products/organic-medjool-dates-pack-of-two-whole-12oz-bags) are *the* magic ingredient when it comes to creating classic candies into better-for-you versions--*that actually tastes like the real deal.*

 

 

## Ingredients you'll need:

1. 1. **[Joolies Medjool Dates](https://joolies.com/collections/all/products/organic-medjool-dates-two-pitted-9oz-bags)** 
            - The most important ingredient here--adding that caramel-y element while adding a [slew of nutritional benefits](https://blog.joolies.com/9-reasons-to-eat-medjool-dates-every-day). We love using our pitted option for these, but whole work just as well! Just be sure to remove the pit😉
     2. **Peanut Butter** 
            - We went with creamy, but if you want some extra crunch...go crunchy😉 Whether you're creamy or crunchy we recommend using a peanut butter with no added oils or sugars. Some of our favorites are [365 by Whole Foods](https://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/product/365-by-whole-foods-market-creamy-peanut-butter-36-oz-b003bhlwx8) and [Georgia Grinders](http://www.georgiagrinders.com/products/georgia-grinders-creamy-peanut-butter.html)! 
     3. **Roasted Peanuts** 
            - This adds a nice salty crunch just like snickers bars have. Feel free to swap for a different nut or seed to your preference.
     4. **Dark Chocolate Chips**  
            - This is the top layer that coalesces everything together! We recommend using a dark chocolate without fillers or artificial sweeteners (it takes longer to melt and isn't great for your body either) like [Hu Kitchen](https://hukitchen.com/)or  [Eating Evolved](https://eatingevolved.com/). Natural chocolate is always the way to go for either bakes as well!
     5. Coconut Oil  
            - Adding a little bit of this into our melted chocolate helps keep it from drying out and allows it to harden faster when placed in the freezer! Plus coconut oil also [contains healthy fatty acids called MCTs which promote brain function.](https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/top-10-evidence-based-health-benefits-of-coconut-oil)
     6. **Flakey Sea Salt** 
            - Adding a sprinkle of flakey sea salt on top elevates the delicious sweet and salty combo.
