Happy New Year! Thought I'd share my Peanut Butter Turtle recipe, it's an offshoot of the Snicker snacks that we published in 'In the Loop magazine a while back. I consider this a healthier snack. So easy to make and I've yet to find someone who doesn't love these tasty treats. Have fun making them, also another easy food project for kids to get involved with. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
12 Pitted Dates
Creamy Peanut Butter, enough to smear on top of smashed dates
1 cup Chocolate chips, light or dark
Peanuts, unsalted, roughly chopped
Flaky Sea Salt
Tools: Parchment paper, Tray, Scissors, Pounder-Flattener tool, spoon, microwaveable bowl.
Instructions: This recipe can be doubled, tripled,,,,
Prepare tray with parchment paper, set aside and cut extra piece and fold in half to use for pounding dates flat & together
Cut each date opened with scissors and press flat, take two and overlay only on the edges one on top of the other
Place between parchment paper and pound flat until they stick together, put on prepared tray
When finished with all of the dates, take a small spoon of peanut butter and smear evenly to cover each date is covered
Microwave the chocolate chips, 40 seconds at a time, stirring each time, until smooth and completely melted, it takes 3-4 times to melt the chocolate, make sure not to over microwave it'll burn
