# What You'll Need:
→ Base
01 - 16 Medjool dates, pitted and halved
→ Filling
02 - ½ cup natural creamy peanut butter
→ Topping
03 - 7 oz dark or milk chocolate, chopped
04 - 2 tablespoons coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)

06 - Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling (optional)
# Directions:
01 - Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper.
02 - Place the pitted and halved dates, cut side up, in a single layer, slightly overlapping to form a solid rectangular or square base.
03 - Evenly spread the natural creamy peanut butter over the dates, filling each cavity generously.
04 - Melt the chopped chocolate with coconut oil (if using) in a microwave or over a double boiler until smooth.
05 - Pour or drizzle the melted chocolate evenly over the peanut butter and date layer, covering completely.
06 - Immediately sprinkle the coarsely chopped peanuts and flaky sea salt (if using) over the melted chocolate.
07 - Place the tray in the freezer for at least 1 hour or until the chocolate is set and firm.
08 - Using a sharp knife, cut the frozen bark into pieces. Serve directly from the freezer for optimal texture.
