Step-by-Step Preparation
Step 1: Soak the Dates
Place the pitted dates in a bowl, cover them with water, and let them soak for 2-4 minutes. This softens the dates, making them easier to blend into a smooth paste.
Step 2: Blend the Dates
Transfer the soaked dates to a blender. Add 2 tablespoons of peanut butter and a pinch of salt.
Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure everything is well combined. The date mixture will act as the sweet and sticky base for the bars, replacing the caramel layer in traditional Snickers.
