You know I love sweets, and you love me!

Recently, I discovered date bark — a healthier alternative to most chocolate bars that delivers a chocolatey, nutty goodness. This viral candy treat is made with just six ingredients and is easy to whip up. Using Medjool dates as the base, it’s topped with melted chocolate, nut butter, almonds, and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt, then chilled until firm. Once it’s set, you simply break it into pieces, and I indulge in a sweet treat that’s as nutritious as it is delicious.

Date bark is packed with benefits, thanks to the Medjool dates. These nutrient-dense fruits are a great source of fiber, which helps with my digestion and can even reduce blood sugar spikes. The addition of nuts and dark chocolate makes it a satisfying, wholesome snack that tastes like a Snickers bar but without the guilt. You can customize it with different nut butters or chocolate types for your perfect version.

Here’s a simple, viral recipe to try:

Date Crunch Bark

Ingredients:
• 20 Medjool dates (pitted)
• ⅓ cup tahini or peanut butter
• ½ cup raw almonds
• 1½ cups dark chocolate chips
• 1 tsp coconut oil
• Flaky salt

I look forward to Easter 😉

Love,
