These chocolate covered Snickers stuffed dates are made with real food ingredients and taste even better than an actual Snickers bar. Vegan + gluten-free.
Halloween is right around the corner and I know it can mark the start of crazy holiday eating habits. We often get hooked on sugar at Halloween, figure why not keep indulging for all the Thanksgiving recipes, and by the time the New Year rolls around we realize we’ve been living in stretchy pants and don’t recognize the girl in the mirror.
Been there, done that – but for the past few years I’ve made it my mission to stick with simple healthy habits and cut back on my sugar intake because I know how easy it is for my sugar eating habits to spiral out of control.
Swapping Processed Sugar For Natural Sugar
My number one tip for “cutting back on sugar” is actually switching to natural sugars like maple syrup, honey and Medjool dates. These Snickers stuffed dates are the perfect example of that.
As I said, Halloween is riiiiight around the corner and seeing those snack-size candies right when you walk in the grocery store is so tempting! Thankfully it’s easy to make something that tastes just as good (if not better) with real food ingredients and none of that processed junk. I’ve shared these peanut butter cups, healthy Twix bars and healthier Butterfingers, but today I’ve got a healthier Snickers recipe for ya!
Are Dates Healthy?
Overwhelmingly yes! I have an entire post on everything you need to know about Medjool dates if you want to do a deeper dive. However, for a quick glance, dates…
- contain natural sugar, but have a low/medium glycemic index score due to containing a good amount of fiber, which helps to slow the release of the carbohydrates and give you sustained energy rather than spiking your blood sugar crazy high.
- are also naturally low in fat.
- are packed with nutrients like potassium (50% more potassium by weight than a banana), copper, magnesium, vitamin B6, niacin, calcium, iron and vitamin K.
Here’s What You Need
These incredible chocolate covered Snickers stuffed dates taste like a Snickers bar and are made with real, whole-food ingredients. And want to know the best part? You only need 5 simple ingredients that you likely already have in your kitchen. Here’s what you need:
- medjool dates – you can buy medjool dates that are already pitted or pit them yourself (it’s super easy). Two brands that I like are Natural Delights and Joolies. You can find Natural Delights in the produce section of most grocery stores (near the bananas) and Joolies are offered on Amazon and Thrive Market.
- peanut butter – I prefer drippy/runny natural peanut butter but you can use any nut or seed butter you like. Some of my go-to brands of peanut butter are Crazy Richard’s, Whole Food’s 365 and Wild Friends (use EBF10 for 10% off your order). If you have a peanut allergy, any kind of nut butter will do!
- chopped/crushed peanuts – an extra boost of peanut flavor and some crunch for texture! Try using a different nut if you have a peanut allergy to add some crunch.
- dark chocolate chunks or chocolate chips – I love Lily’s chocolate chips for a low-sugar option and Enjoy Life chocolate chips for a dairy-free/soy-free option.
- coconut oil – this is used to help melt the chocolate and helps it to become thinner, which makes it easier to dip the dates. You can skip it, but your melted chocolate will likely be pretty thick. I recommend using refined coconut oil if you don’t want any coconut flavor!
How to Make Snickers Stuffed Dates
If you’re hosting a Halloween party or want to make a fun dessert with kiddos, give these Snickers stuffed dates a try! This recipe really doesn’t get any easier. I’ll walk you through step by step (including steps for mama and steps for kids!)
1. Cut a slit in the dates and remove the pit (mamas, you can cut the slit and have your kiddos use their little fingers to grab the pits out!).
2. Fill each date with a spoonful of peanut butter (mamas, this step is probably best for you unless you have older kids!). Kids, you’re in charge of sprinkling each date with crushed peanuts after they’re filled with peanut butter.
3. Kids, dump the chocolate chips into a bowl and moms, you add the coconut oil. Heat until mixture is melted and stir to combine.
4. This might have to be a team effort unless your kids are older. The final step is to take each peanut butter filled and peanut topped date and dunk it in the chocolate. I used a toothpick to hold the date together while dipping. Pop the covered dates on parchment and place them in the fridge until the chocolate sets, about 10 minutes.
5. Enjoy this healthy, delicious treat as a family!
tip! Use an icing bag or a zip-lock bag and cut a corner to easily fill dates with peanut butter!
Make a Single Serving
Have a craving for Snickers and want to quickly satisfy it? Make a single Snickers stuffed date and indulge immediately! Just use 1 date, 1/2 teaspoon of peanut butter, 1 teaspoon crushed peanuts and about 1 Tablespoon of melted chocolate.
How to Store Snickers Stuffed Dates
I recommend storing these bites in an airtight container in the fridge. They should last up to one week… but I bet they’ll be gone before then! You can also store these treats in the freezer for 1-2 months.

OMG!!! These are awesome! I have made them numerous times and they completely satisfy my craving for something sweet. Thank you for a great recipe that I will be using forever.
If I could give these 20 stars I would! Amazing! Thanks Brittany for another great recipe.
Oh my goodness, yay!! I’m so glad you loved them.
These have been on my list to make for awhile and finally did so this weekend. Can’t believe I waited so long…they are amazing! Taste just like the snickers eggs but much better for you! I have a feeling these will become a regular treat staple for me!
These are delicious! Far better then an actual snickers bar!
Yay!! I’m so happy to hear that. 🙂 Thanks for coming back to leave a comment + star rating, Kacee. I so appreciate it! <3
These stuffed date snickers are so yummy! The perfect snack for a sweet tooth without all of the added sugars!
Yay!! I’m so glad you’re loving these stuffed dates, Claire. Thanks for coming back to leave a comment and star rating, I so appreciate it!
This is easy to make and very good!!!!
Well, these are certainly delicious, but please do not consider them a health food, or even a healthy alternative to a snickers bar.
The body does not differentiate between ‘natural’ and refined sugars when digesting them – sugar is sugar and it all ends up as glucose in the end. Indeed, dates give you a bit of a head start in this respect, consisting primarily of glucose and fructose which are simple monosaccharide carbohydrates, readily available to the body (dry weight dates are 80% sugar with a roughly 50/50 split between fructose and glucose). For context, the Glycemic Index for dates is 62; pure table sugar is 63. Notwithstanding all the additional sugar in the chocolate coating.
Let’s take a look at the Snickers comparison. The nutritional info above is given for a single date making like for like comparisons difficult, however a medjool date weighs approx. 24g, a snickers 57g. The date includes the stone, which is then removed and replaced with peanut butter and covered in chocolate. Let’s assume that you would get approximately 2 finished date candies to each snickers bar, weight for weight (visually, this looks like an equivalent serving size too). You could of course only eat 1 date, but you could also only eat half a snickers, you will just feel less satiated.
To return to the comparison, each snickers bar comprises 271 calories, 28.8g sugar and 13.6g fat. If you were to consume 2 of these date candies, you would (according to the nutritional data provided) ingest 42g sugar, 12g fat and 294 calories. So you’re taking on quite a lot more sugar, slightly less fat and a slightly more calories with 2 date candies than you are a snickers bar.
Now I’m not preaching, I love these and will eat them again. But not because it’s a healthier snacking option, because they’re delicious. It’s misleading to promote such foodstuffs as ‘healthier’ alternatives to other snacks, and may ultimately encourage increased intake of sugar and calories in the false belief that they’re somehow better for you than something like a Snickers. There is nothing healthy about this recipe.
Hey Gareth – I know these might not seem “healthier” than Snickers when you look at the calories / sugar content, but in this recipe we’re using healthier, all-natural ingredients and only 5 of them. A regular Snickers bar contains artificial flavors, corn syrup, white sugar, palm oil and other ingredients that aren’t the greatest.
And yes, dates do contain natural sugar, but they have a low/medium glycemic index score because they also contain a good amount of fiber, which slows the release of the carbohydrates and gives you sustained energy rather spiking your blood sugar crazy high. They’re also low in fat and packed with nutrients like potassium (50% more potassium by weight than a banana), copper, magnesium, vitamin B6, niacin, calcium, iron and vitamin K.
I was looking for some date recipes as I’m 37 wks pregnant and wanted to get some of the benefits from dates as I get closer to delivery. And these little bites of deliciousness are sooooo good! They were simple to make and are the perfect little snack/dessert. Hardest part is trying not to eat a bunch at once! Would definitely recommend!
Ahh yay!! I’m so glad you enjoyed these, Erika. I basically lived on these during my pregnancy. 🙂
These are SO GOOD! My family really liked these. I can always use more high-energy snack ideas now that my teen is home all the time because of the pandemic. I absolutely love these. Yes, they have some added sugar from the chocolate but (unlike Snickers) these can be made in a way that avoids ultra-processed foods. A+
So glad these stuffed dates are a hit, Summer!! Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment + star rating. The reviews are super helpful for other readers, so I appreciate it. <3
I’m not going to lie, I kind of side-eyed the recipe description when it was claimed these taste as good as a Snickers bar. I never should have been so skeptical! Dates and peanut butter and chocolate are a match made in heaven. Warning: very easy to eat too many! They are high in calories so just be mindful of your portions, and it’s quite a tasty treat.
So glad you enjoyed these, Kenna!! Thanks for giving them a chance and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. The reviews are super helpful to other readers, so I appreciate it. 🙂
Just when I think I have a favorite recipe of Brittany‘s, I find another one that tops it. THIS is my favorite dessert so far. If you have ever tried those frozen Snicker icecream bars from the store… these taste the same and are so much healthier!
Thank you, Brittany. I appreciate your hard work and effort into these recipes. Thanks to you, eating desserts is a possible staple in my house because of the healthy spin you put on them.
Ahh, that makes me so happy to hear!! I’m so glad this recipe was a hit. Thanks for making it + for coming back to leave a comment + star rating, Stephanie. I so appreciate it. <3
Wow these are good. I even did mine with powdered peanut butter and less chocolate and it was like a Snickers. My husband likes them frozen too. Quick and easy to do.
Woo!! I’m so pumped these were a hit! Thanks so much for making them and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating, Frances. I appreciate it!
So good! Filled with almond butter and sprinkled with cocoa nibs and keep frozen til ready to eat! Love the natural basics of this recipe!
I’m so glad you’re loving this recipe, Rebecca! Thanks for coming back to leave a review, I so appreciate it. <3
Hubby never thought he’d like dates until he tried these. Dangerously scrumptious!
Woo!! So glad these treats are a hit, Michelle. Thanks for making them and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. I so appreciate it. 🙂
Absolutely love these as a relatively healthy sweet treat and only take minutes to make
Woo! So glad you’re loving these, Siobhan! Thanks for coming back to leave a review. 🙂
These are OUTSTANDING. And gone. Really, make a double batch.
So glad you love these, Emma!! Good call on a double batch. 🙂
These are so incredibly good! I cannot wait for my hubs to try, and for my kids to make them with me next time. I can’t believe how just like snickers they taste. These will totally be a new go-to treat. ¡Increíble!
Ahh yay that makes me so happy to hear, Danita!! I’m pumped you loved these treats. 🙂 Thanks for making them and for coming back to leave a review. I so appreciate it!
Yum! Just made these but used pecans instead of peanuts since I had them on hand. It was like a delightful Turtle
So glad you loved this treat, Michelle! Thanks for coming back to leave a review. I so appreciate it.:)
Absolutely incredible. I had no idea dates could be so delicious. I didn’t have any peanuts on hand, so I simply omitted them. They were fabulous! I rarely eat sweets, so I’m glad that when I chose to have something, it was these. I can’t wait to make these for my extended family during our next gathering. My toddlers and husband loved them as well. I highly recommend these 🙂 Thank you!
Woo! This makes me so happy to hear. Thank you for coming back to leave a comment and star rating. I really appreciate it, Hannah!
These were legit amazing!! We were a bit hesitant because we haven’t ever had dates before, but we will be making these and many other recipes too! So so good!! -Ali and Sarah
Soo delicious and perfect timing. I’m 38 weeks pregnant and looking for different ways to get in some dates. A friend shared these with me and now I’m obsessed. I used natural PB and Lilly’s dark chocolate chips. Perfect! Thank you.
So glad you loved these!! Have you tried my 4-ingredient samoas?! If not, you should definitely try them!! I basically lived off them while pregnant with Olivia. 🙂
Wow! I would’ve believed it unless I tried it! So. good! And I just learned after 33 years of marriage that my husband likes dates! It’s a win-win!
Haha love it!! So glad this recipe was a hit. Thanks for making it and for coming back to leave a review, Patty. I so appreciate it!
Mind blown 🤯. Such a simple recipe and they are incredible!!! The hubby usually turns his nose up to my healthier desserts and he can’t get enough of these. We both agree hands down they are better than regular snickers bars.
Woo!! That makes me so happy to hear, Mikaela. So pumped you guys loved these. Thanks for coming back to leave a review. I so appreciate it!
This is my new favorite treat. Though they are so good it’s hard to save them for treats when I make a batch. I used organic Hadley deglet noor dates and they were still so good. Thank you for an awesome healthier sweet recipe!
So glad you loved this recipe, Shanda. Thanks so much for coming back to leave a review. I so appreciate it!
These were delicious!!
I am so tempted to add some crushed bacon to these amazing bites!
Ohh I bet that would be delicious!
I made them yesterday evening and it looks amazing! Can’t wait to eat them all 😀 do you have any suggestions for an alternative to the peanut butter? Was planning to give some to a friend, but she has a peanut allergy. Thanks!
So glad you enjoyed these snickers stuffed dates, Karen! Any type of nut butter will work- almond butter, cashew butter etc. Thanks so much for the review. I really appreciate it!
Absolutely gorgeous.

Woo!! So happy to know these stuffed dates were a hit, Angela! Thanks so much for trying them out and thank you for the review. It means so much to me!
Dates alone are better than any candy in my opinion. I usually eat them with almond butter but this peanut butter chocolate combo is amazing! I’m going to bring these to a Halloween party for anyone who wants a healthier alternative to all the candy.
Woo!! Happy to hear you loved these snickers stuffed dates, Molly! Thanks for trying them out and coming back to leave a review. I really appreciate it!
Can you replace coconut oil with another oil?
The coconut oil helps to melt the chocolate making it easier for dipping. Coconut oil also hardens in the fridge/freezer which makes a harder chocolate coating. You could just skip the coconut oil, but your chocolate might not be as drippy.
These are amazing!!! I cannot believe how much they taste like a snickers bar. So hard to not eat them all in one sitting! These will become a regular sweet found in my fridge from now on!
Ah yay! Thrilled to hear you’re loving these snickers stuffed dates. They are quite addicting so I understand the temptation, Zoe! Thanks so much for the review. I really appreciate it!
So delicious and satisfying! Easy to make one at a time to satisfy a sweet craving that actually lasts! I’ve done it using almond butter and cashews as well!
Woo!! So glad you enjoyed these snickers stuffed dates. Thanks for the review, Andrea! I really appreciate the feedback.
I have a peanut allergy and it is hard to find treats that are peanut free and taste good. Thank you. This was an enjoyable treat.
Ah yay! I’m so happy to hear these stuffed dates were a hit, Vicki! Thanks for trying them out and coming back to leave a review. I so appreciate it!

Woo!! Thrilled to hear these snickers stuffed dates were a hit. Thanks so much for the review, Amanda! It means so much to me :).

Ah yay!! So happy to hear this, Ann. Thanks so much for trying out these snickers stuffed dates and I really appreciate the review. It means so much to me :).

Yay!! So glad you enjoyed these snickers stuffed dates, Lindsey. Makes me so happy to hear! Thanks so much for the review. I really appreciate it.
Some of my favorite combos: Dates and peanut butter, and chocolate and peanut butter, so I knew I’d love this recipe since it would combine all three! So easy to make, and the recommendation to use a tooth pick to dip the dates in the chocolate was a huge help (I always struggle dipping things nicely)! I used the medjool dates from trader joes and they were delish. Thanks for the idea and tips!
Woo!! Happy to hear these stuffed dates were a success. Thanks for the review and trying them out, Natalie. I so appreciate it!
PB stuffed dates are an all-time favorite for me, and it’s been too long since i’ve dipped them in chocolate ! i didn’t have peanuts on hand so i used crunchy peanut butter and they were absolutely delicious !! i love how informative and easy the EBF recipes are to follow and i’m obsessed with all the mouth-watering pictures. these mini snickers are one of those golden snacks i hide from my husband and do NOT share …😈✌🏼
Oh yay!! So thrilled these stuffed dates were a hit. Thanks so much for the review, Emily. I really appreciate the feedback!
This recipe is so easy and so delicious! Peanut butter is my favorite for snacking on everything from toast to rice cakes to celery. I love this sweet and salty treat that’s a healthy alternative. The problem is trying not to keep visiting the fridge for just one more 🙂
Yay!! Happy to hear you’ve been enjoying these stuffed dates, Ashley. Thanks so much for the review. I really appreciate it :).
I love snickers and this is a delicious and healthier version! I tried putting a bit of butter in place of coconut oil, and it turned out ok. Next time I’d stick with the recipe! Delicious!!
Glad you enjoyed these snickers stuffed dates, Justin! Good to know about the butter. Thanks so much for the review!
love these!! I’ve made them so many times, they’re just so delicious! taste like candy but without all the processed sugar and stuff

This was such a surprise, I’ve never had a date before. It was so rich & decadent, definitely tastes like a regular candy treat, but I felt better about eating it.
Woo!! So pumped to hear you enjoyed these stuffed dates, Liz. Thanks so much for trying them out and I really appreciate you coming back to leave a review!!

So easy and so good!! I made last night and then threw in a ziploc bag in freezer. I eat them right from the freezer. Absolutely delicious!! Thank you! Since I use dairy free mini chips I used 1/4c and it was perfect’

Some friends and I got together this weekend to do batch cooking for our freezers and we made these too! They are sooo yummy. We were glad they were suggested. Easy to make and keep on hand, when you need a little something sweet!
Yay! I love that idea and I’m so happy you all loved this recipe, Kendall! Thanks for coming back to leave a review and star rating, it means so much to me!
I made these with small, pitted dates, so didn’t sprinkle the peanuts inside due to size. These were so good—I used two forks to dip into chocolate and then placed on a silicone mat in the fridge. Yummy!
Yay! So glad you loved this recipe, Linz. Thanks so much for making it and for coming back to leave a review. I really appreciate it!
WOW!! These are incredible – I used almond butter (it’s what I had) and toasted pecans for filling with some sea salt to top it off. Incredible!! So tasty and filling compared to a Snickers!
Woo! Love to hear that, Rachel! I’m glad these were a hit for you. Thanks for making them and coming back to leave a review and star rating, I really appreciate it.
Delicious ! I absolutely love them ! I used chopped walnuts and a light drizzle of dark chocolate.
Yum! Thank you for leaving a review and star rating, Patti. I really appreciate it!
Loved them! Slightly-moderately healthier (there is melted chocolate after all!) alternative to Snickers, and all the more tastier knowing how many more whole food ingredients went into it!
Woo, glad you enjoyed these, JT! Thanks for the review, I appreciate it so much!
These are AMAZING! I have made them twice in a week!
Woo! So happy you’re loving these, Ashley! I appreciate you coming back to leave a review, thanks!
Omg! I just tried these, minus the peanuts, and they are so delicious! So decadent! And easy!
Woo! I’m so glad you’re loving these, Jean! Thanks for trying them and leaving a review.
these are SO good. i didn’t have peanuts but i chopped some almonds instead. and instead of nut topping, i topped with a sprinkle of maldon salt. heavenly! going to keep a stash in my freezer for when i’m craving something sweet!
Woo! So glad these are a hit, Lori. Thanks for making them and sharing a review, I appreciate it.
Absolutely delicious! My husband is a diabetic and can enjoy 1 guilt free. I am a chocoholic that has been trying to cut back on refined sugar so these are perfect. They satisfy my craving and actually leave me feeling full after just 1. I do use Lilly’s sugar free milk chocolate chips to coat the date. Thank you for the recipe:-)
Hi Kathy – I’m so glad this works for you and your husband! Thank you for leaving a comment and review.
These are so easy to make and so delicious!!
Thank you, Erin! So glad you like this recipe. Thank you for taking the time to leave me a comment and review as well, I so appreciate it!
These are incredible! So good and so easy. I will definitely make these again. Next time, I think I am going to try hazelnut butter and a hazelnut inside and see if it will be like a play on a Forrero Roche. I love that this recipe uses only whole food ingredients and none of the weird ones you find in a conventional snickers! I love this recipe. Next one I want to try is the date caramel!
WOO! I love that this recipe was a hit, Jackie! The hazelnut butter is a great idea, I would love to hear how that works out for you. Thank you for your review + star rating, I really appreciate it!
Been seeing these sneaker like bites for a few years online finally tried its really is delicious my whole family enjoyed them.
I am trying to cut down on refined sugars, my sweet tooth is out of control and this recipe is AMAZING. I used crunchy peanut butter to add the crunch and I used Hu dark chocolate gems (the best unrefined sugar chocolate that is stevia free) and WOW. I am shocked that this satisfies my sweet tooth the way it does! 10/10
Yum! These are definitely a go to in my house to satisfy those sweet tooth too, Alicia. I am so glad you are loving this recipe. Thank you for sharing you’re review + star rating, I really appreciate it!

I keep a stash of these in my freezer. They are my go to “treat” at night. Honestly, the dates have helped my digestive system immensely… win win!
WOO! This is the best, Sharon. I am excited to hear that you are also loving this recipe, a freezer stash is a must! Thanks so much for sharing your review + star rating, I truly appreciate it!
Hi, when these are frozen how long do you need to thaw before serving them?
Hi Jasmine – I would let them sit on the counter for about 5 minutes to let the chocolate soften a bit. Enjoy!
Thank you for sharing this recipe!
I purchased medjool dates after reading about all the health benefits, but I had a hard time enjoying them plain. This recipe is delicious and helps satisfy my occasional chocolate craving while getting in some good nutrients (and without all the added sugar/processed junk of factory-made candy bars.)
I’m definitely a huge fan and will be making these again.
God bless you!
Ahh this is the best, Lindsey! I am so glad you found this recipe and are loving them. Thank you for coming back and sharing your review + star rating, I really appreciate it!
For the record, I don’t like dates. I’ve tried over and over. I know they’re healthy… but I can’t do it. On to my experience with this recipe, I had some dates to use up as I decided to get rid of them and be done. So I tried these. How on earth are they so delicious?!?! Even my ridiculously picky daughter inhaled them and is constantly begging me to make them. Thank you for converting me, I now respect dates 😉
Ah yay! This is seriously the best, Jen! I am so glad you and your daughter are loving this sweet treat and you are hooked. Thank you for coming back and sharing your review + star rating, it means so much to me!
Hi! These are delicious but my dates are super hard once they’re in the fridge and literally hurt to chew. Did I miss something…? Used fresh medjool dates from Costco. When I let come to room temp the chocolate melts
Hi Rebecca – If your dates were hard prior to filling the, I would recommend soaking them in warm water until they are softened before filling. After they are filled, if you find they are too hard, I would recommend letting sit out on the counter for a bit before eating. Hope this helps!
Obsessed!!! Everyone I make this for is also obsessed
Oh yay! So glad you enjoyed this recipe, Cecilia. Thanks for making it and for coming back to leave a review. I so appreciate it!
Can these be frozen?
Totally! You’ll just want to leave them out for a few minutes before eating to help them soften a little! Enjoy!
Finally made these and they. Are delightful.
YAY! I am SO glad these are a hit for you, TKA. Thank you for coming back and sharing your review & star rating, it means so much to me!
