Ingredients

The nougat base is made from just 3 ingredients - peanut butter, peanuts, and dates. Medjool Dates are really the key to the success of this sweet treat. They create a tasty caramel and help give the peanut butter nougat layer that chew it needs. The dates also provide plenty of sweetness so there's no need for added sugar.

instructions

These bites are simple to make, but do take a little time. Much of that time is hands off though. Each layer comes together quickly in a food processor and then its just letting everything firm up in the freezer before coating in chocolate. I cut our treats into bite sized squares for a more kid friendly option, but you could also go with a larger bar size if you prefer.

equipment
