THE BEST HEALTHIER TREAT !! Chocolate Covered Dates With Pecans

- Natures Chocolate Covered “ Candy “ Trust me on this one , my family is not a fan of dates but they cannot get enough of these. I have been showing you the date treats I eat on here for years but let’s take it up I a notch. My sweet tooth has been acting up like crazy these days. Dates are natures candy, they really are one of the most magnificent natural treats that offer a significant amount of fiber and variety of vitamins and minerals, including iron, potassium, B vitamins, copper, and magnesium. They can also help keep your blood sugar levels at bay as they are known to be low on the glycemic index scale. If you are anything like me , then that means you are a lover of sweet and salty together. Directions are :
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You will need to buy “ Medjool Dates” and make sure you take out the pit (I used 6 dates in this recipe) You lay your date flat and open it up lengthwise from the top , you can even cut it lengthwise as well , take out the pit and fill it with a teaspoon of peanut butter or any nut or seed butter that you love ( I use organic ) You can add a pecan inside or any nut of choice and freeze them for 30 minutes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Once frozen , melt your favourite chocolate and coat them with a spoon ( I used vegan dark ). Freeze again for 10 minutes and enjoy. They can be stored in the fridge or freezer as well. Flakey salt is optional but I prefer it without. Dates are so versatile, you can stuff them with goat cheese and bake them , add them to smoothies , acai bowls , coffee , make desserts out of them and use them a million different ways. If you are a lover of dates or have a sweet tooth I encourage you to give this a try instead of a candy bar. Love you guys , hope I was able to give you a really tasty treat idea.

I made this snack and used it as a way to overcome sugar addiction and binge eating. When I first tasted a date, I wondered why I ever had processed junk in the first place!
So happy to hear love!
I’m going to try this, then. I’m so addicted to sugar, it’s insane! I’m going to use almonds. This is the first time I’ve seen advice on switching up sugars. I’m so glad I found your comment!
@@mastiffmom2592 You know that dates are like 65% pure sugar?
@@marvin1620 yeah but its not processed shit sugar that your body hasnt evolved to processs. Your body knows how to and thrives on sugar from fruits...
@@sircruse1422 Not really. The "processed" sugar is fructose, glucose or a combination of both as well. Just like in nature. In fact, most of the times it is the sugar from nature that was extracted from sugarcane for example. There is no difference at all.
BUT, besides sugar, dates also contain fiber which causes the sugar to get absorbed from the body slower than sugar from highly processed food like candy that doese not contain fiber.
So yes, eating dates is more healthy than other sweets but the huge amount of fructose is still not good.
Looks yummy! I'd sprinkle with sea salt BEFORE the 2nd freeze so the granules can stick onto the still liquid chocolate coating
I'm not a big date fan, but using a food processor to grind up dates and pecans together, spreading a fine layer of peanut butter on top and then slathering chocolate on either side with a sprinkle of salt on top is amazingly delicious. 😋
So good!! :)
That sounds good too!
I make a version of these and people tend to love them. I brought them to a potluck last week, and everyone kept asking me how I made the fudge 😂
😍😍😍😍
Será el dulce de leche 😂
sooo how did you make the fudge?
@@nalbinalbii888I'm guessing it was just the date right?
@@nalbinalbii888The fudge appears to be melted chunks of various dark chocolates.
Tasted this few weeks ago in Egypt! Their version doesn’t have any seed butter and they used whole almond. They were called “Sahara delights” and they were so delightful! I will make this recipe. Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure, thanks for being here friend!
@@themodernnonna😮😊😮 🎉
I 😂
I just blended dates in food processor to make paste and mixed with peanut butter then topped with melted chocolate making my own homemade Reese's... sooooo much better!!! And the best part.... you can control how much date paste you add! Make it less or more sweet if you like!
Finally someone who doesnt call them snickers. They aint snickers people
Well if I call it snicker than it makes me want to eat healthier 😂okay!!! Lol🤦
Calm down
I love making these, but since I cannot have chocolate I substitute with Carob chips, in my opinion it taste better amd healthier. Since I saw this recipe years ago I never bought chocolate candy. TH-cam has a lot of healthy candy alternative for those that have a sweet tooth and they taste so much better and healthier. GB🥰❤️😘
this looks so good. Even dates on their own are already amazing.
I just wish they weren’t that expensive 😢
Love everything about this.
Smart.
Thank you!
i actually just made these, but they're 140 calories. a mini snickers bar is 42 calories. these are definitely delicious though!
Calories don’t equal Calories tho.. like your body will process and store the sugar from dates (which have a lower glycemic index) much differently than the cane sugar / weird syrups they put in chocolate bars. Plus the nut butter will help with stabilizing blood sugar
@@katarina1292 🤓🤓🤓
@@DiGiTaLFaKiE brainlet
But it's healthier
nutritional calories vs empty calories
I tried this and oh my gosh it’s actually so good 😭😭😭
Awesome! So glad you tried! Thanks for being here friend!
My mom is Iranian, and she would always make me potted dates with walnuts inside before tests, apparently it’s quite popular in Iran. They are very good, too!
Wonderful hun!
Also try stuffing with clotted cream and / or roasted almonds (optional). Sooo good
This are delicious an so sweet one is enough. Sweet an Salty. An could be considered paleo depending on butter you use. I just use natural peanut butter. I don’t put a lot of pb on each one.
So glad you enjoy! Thank you for being here friend!
Love dates

This is one of the most delicious looking sweets I've ever seen! 😋👏

Sooooo good! ❤️
I just made these all week with Deglet Noor dates, peanut butter, and peanuts! It is soooooooo good 🤤
Never tried this but I believe this will be so delicious and I know I will love it because I love eating dates.
Enjoy! ☺️
quick and energetic bars 😊love it thanks JazakAllah 🌷
Soooo good! ❤️
Actually it's popular in Moroccan weddings 😂😂
Very cool!
That's because Medjool dates are native to Morocco, and were then exported from Morocco and cultivated in the States.
I tried yesterday first time dates and inside puted nut and peanuts butter it's yummy more than other sweets, even Dates are good for a gut and are healthier
So happy to hear hun! ❤️

If you add a smidge of salt to the Medjool date before adding the chocolate, it raises it up a notch
New to me easy to follow in thank you
You are so welcome!
One tip: if you want them to be even better double dip thin layers of white & then dark or milk chocolate
Yum and so healthy too
Great choice for that sweet tooth :)
We eat this candies for every events in northern Africa (Algeria, Morocco an Tunisia)
Add some coconut oil to the chocolate it makes the chocolate smoother and easier to manage.
Add some mascarpone [freeze] dip in dark chocolate and you get a milkyway midnight..✨️💙
Looks yummy 😋
I loooove these. I do creamy choc and white choc as well. Oh my god... The dark is ok 😁
So happy to hear! Appreciate you being here! ☺️
So yummy 😋 I love it ❤❤
Thank you 😋
Ur recipes are really amazing
Thanks a lot 😊
Well done
I made with trader joe's pitted dates, added peanut butter, pecans, covered with bittersweet 60% chocolate, no salt.
Excellent jazakalah o khairan
Thank you!
I like to put cream cheese inside & wrap them with bacon, so good.
Awesome!
Glad you think so!
Yummy Luscious 😋
Thank you 😋
It's called Majhoul, moroccan dates originally.
Nice 👍👍
Thanks 😊
I haven't had any cravings for sweets lately and that's why I haven't been eating any sweets either. If I'd make this and eat it, would there be a chance that I'd start to crave sweets again?
Yummy
Thank you!
😋
These really are delicious. I'm actually upset they are blowing up recently because good dried dates and figs can be tough to find.
hehehe i have all the ingredients for this, yes!!
Awesome! Hope you enjoy love!
You could do this with prunes!😊 🙃
I bet you could add sunflower seeds if you have a nut allergy 😍
Wt do dates taste like? 🤔 Never had em!😳
Will it taste good with honey instead of chocolate?
With honey drizzle?
@@themodernnonna yes
@@themodernnonna I will mix honey and Cocoa powder
Dried dates are already super sweet, adding honey would seem like overkill.
Can we store it without fridge, if yes, for how many days?
Thank you so very much for not calling these Snicker Bars........
Hello sneji ...am here...I cn here u here no music but happy to hear u ...on insta the moment u add music I cnt hear u nor ur cute lovely soothing voice
SOOO HAPPY!!! Hiiii love
@@themodernnonna those are 300 calories per moron they are no where near healthy 🤦🏽
This is an option for people allergic to corn syrup which is added to just about everything. There are chocolate solutions without it.
❤️
is it ok if chilled only not frozen
Completely up to you! ❤️
Thank you for not saying sea salt.
Best ramadan treats

Feel free to use your favorite chocolate. ☺️

I'd make these, minus the dates, add peanut butter and caramel. Sorry, but I'm not a big fan of any kind of fruits in my chocolate.😅
👍😋

calories it contains???
The calories will vary based on the different brands of ingredients used. Thank you for being here friend!
Instead of using chocolate chips, try substituting carob chips.
okay. she just made a more professional video of how to make a healthy snickers bar
I don't think they are healthy, like there are still chocolate
Chocolate is healty but it has so much energy so if youre tired you should eat it
chocolate isn’t bad for you though. dark chocolate has a lot of antioxidants- it’s the amount of SUGAR that’s in a milk chocolate or candy bar that makes it unhealthy.
@@bunnyuuu1111 sugar amount
Good for Ramadan if you don't like dates like me
