Frequently asked questions
While Medjool dates are recommended for their larger size and natural sweetness, you can use regular dates. Adjust the quantity to achieve the desired sweetness.
Dark chocolate or Semi-Sweet Chocolate is preferred for its richer flavour and lower sugar content. However, you can use milk chocolate if you prefer a sweeter taste.
Dates Snickers can last up to two weeks when stored in the refrigerator. However, they are so delicious that they usually disappear much faster!
Definitely! Making 4-Ingredient Dates Snickers in advance is a great idea. Store them in the refrigerator until ready to serve, and they’ll be a delightful, stress-free treat for your guests.
Absolutely! Replace the nut butter and chopped nuts with sunflower seed butter or biscoff butter, and add seeds like pumpkin or sunflower seeds for a nut-free version.
