Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel Slice
A rich, moreish, sweet, salty snack or dessert made up of layers of medjool dates, peanut butter, melted chocolate and crunchy salted pretzels. And the best about it is - no baking required!
Ingredients
- 200 g medjool dates you can use regular dates, but I find medjool are softer, sweeter and taste so much better than regular dates
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
- 70 g block of dark chocolate bar I used Lindt 78% dark
- 1/2 cup salted pretzels
- pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Open the dates and remove the seeds
- Press them down (open side down) onto a lined baking tray and shape it into a square – try to avoid leaving any gaps if possible as this will be the base of the slice
- Spread the peanut butter evenly over the date layer
- Break the dark chocolate into small pieces and melt – you can do this by putting it in a jug or bowl over hot water and stirring, or by putting it in the microwave and heating it for 30 seconds at a time and stirring until completely melted through
- Pour the chocolate over the peanut butter and spread gently
- Arrange the pretzels on the chocolate layer
- Sprinkle the sea salt over the top
- Place whole tray in the freezer for an hour
- Cut it into preferred sized pieces and place in an airtight container – keep it in the freezer for an extra crunchy snack, or in the fridge for a more chewy snack (this is my fave way to have it!)
