These Chocolate Peanut Date Bars are super easy to make and SO ADDICTIVE! But don’t worry, they are secretly healthy-ish so you can eat them all (okay, maybe just a couple). To make these vegan chocolate bars I used good quality dark chocolate 70% (you can use sugar-free chocolate) and I added peanut butter, peanuts and chewy dates. The result is crunchy, nutty, rich and chocolatey. SO SO GOOD! They are perfect for when you are craving something sweet and indulging. And you’ll still be getting some amazing nutrients. Did you know cacao is packed with antioxidants? It can also improve your mood, your energy and your mental performance. Wooohooo. And did you know dates are super high in fiber? Or that peanuts are rich in micronutrients and a good source of plant-based protein? And so much more. Best of all, these foods are delicious when paired together. Who doesn’t love a chocolate-peanut butter combo? These chocolate bars can be a vegan dessert or a great satisfying snack. They are travel-friendly and kids-friendly. You can store these chocolate bars in the fridge for up to two weeks or freeze them for up to a month (or even more). **If you try these delicious chocolate bars, let us know what you think.

Stir and repeat until 70 – 80 % of the chocolate is melted, the rest will melt as you stir. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate, it will ruin the taste and texture. - While the chocolate is melting, place peanuts in a food processor and pulse until they are finely chopped (I like very small pieces). - Once the chocolate is melted, add peanut butter and coconut nectar/maple syrup and whisk until combined. - Add peanuts and dates. Stir to combine. - Transfer the chocolate mixture to a parchment-lined loaf pan. Press the mixture down using a spatula, press into an even layer. - Place in the fridge for 60 minutes before lifting it out of the pan and chopping them into bars (or squares). - Enjoy! - Store leftovers in an airtight container. You can also store these in the fridge for up to two weeks (or freeze them for up to a month or more). ### Search ### Recent Post - [Single-Serve Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie](https://mondaydreams.com/2025/12/04/single-serve-oatmeal-chocolate-chip-cookie/) - [Herbed Quinoa Pea Salad](https://mondaydreams.com/2025/10/21/herbed-quinoa-pea-salad/) - [Greek-Inspired Potato Stew](https://mondaydreams.com/2025/09/30/greek-inspired-potato-stew/) - [No Churn Vegan Chocolate Almond Ice Cream](https://mondaydreams.com/2025/09/23/no-churn-vegan-chocolate-almond-ice-cream/) - [Apple Pecan Cookies](https://mondaydreams.com/2025/08/18/apple-pecan-cookies/) ### Archives Archives Select Month December 2025 October 2025 September 2025 August 2025 June 2025 April 2025 October 2024 September 2024 August 2024 July 2024 June 2024 May 2024 April 2024 March 2024 December 2023 November 2023 October 2023 September 2023 August 2023 July 2023 June 2023 May 2023 April 2023 March 2023 February 2023 January 2023 December 2022 November 2022 October 2022 September 2022 August 2022 July 2022 June 2022 May 2022 April 2022 March 2022 February 2022 January 2022 December 2021 November 2021 October 2021 September 2021 August 2021 July 2021 June 2021 May 2021 April 2021 March 2021 February 2021 January 2021 December 2020 November 2020 October 2020 September 2020 August 2020 June 2020 May 2020 April 2020 January 2017 ### Leave a Reply [Cancel reply](/2022/06/30/chocolate-peanut-date-bars/#respond) You must be [logged in](https://mondaydreams.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fmondaydreams.com%2F2022%2F06%2F30%2Fchocolate-peanut-date-bars%2F) to post a comment.
