When I was pregnant I craved cinnamon raisin bagel with tofu chive cream cheese. It was the most amazing thing I have ever tasted. After giving birth I made myself the same bagel, expecting I found a hidden magic recipe… it was disgusting. Pregnancy makes you crave weird things
Very much so. I craved dill pickles with whipped cream and olives with hot fudge. The doctor told me it was likely an iron deficiency making me crave salty/sweet. I hated the resulting iron pills with a passion. So metallic.🤢
Nutrient deficiency does that
I only like olives depending on what birth control I'm on.
I can crave them now, but they just don't taste like when was on the other pills.
that is how my wife got me addicted to Cashews, 9 months of cashews that I also acquired a taste for, then she gave birth and I couldn't even open a package of cashews in the same town as her. lol
I craved a Blueberry bagel with onion cream cheese, I still eat it it’s so good. You could go an onion bagel with blueberry cream cheese. I also craved blueberry scones and cowboy beans my brother makes ( anyone else’s were not good enough) a lot of banana and pumpkin. I’ve heard that women crave things their body is lacking in. That’s why a lot of women eat dirt because if the minerals.
Only emmy could get me to watch a 20 minute video about date bark lol
❤💯
For real tho
Yes, something I will never make because I don't really like Snickers.
😊.
I skipped to the taste test ngl.
Omg same 😂. Dates are disgusting 🤮
Dried fruit, nuts, and chocolate. This sounds like it would taste more like a Chunky bar than a Snickers. That's not a bad thing. Chunky's are DIVINE.
... raisins....
Most underrated chocolate.
@@ZombiedustXXX it has raisins and bits of peanuts....
no, it has raisins and nuts in it
Medjool dates are fresh- not dried.
I always have these ingredients in the house, so the first time I heard this I tried it. Not even remotely close to tasting like a Snickers. It's good, but not even close.
Also, there are tons of types of dates, all with their own flavors.
I've tried many different dates and using the medjool dates would get the best results. Also Snickers is made with low quality milk chocolate, if you used any sort of quality chocolate then your bark would taste far better. I will confess that while I prefer good quality dark chocolate, I will eat a snickers if there are no better options.
Yeah, it won't taste the same because the sugar content is far lower between n all ingredients aside from peanuts. Nougat is mostly sugar, cheap milk chocolate has a lot of sugar, and caramel is mostly sugar and butter. There lack of oil and high fructose corn syrup will definitely impact the flavor. Most highly priced snacks cannot be made at home with accuracy, so we just have to look for near matches in flavor profile. And matching both flavor and texture is impossible for some things 🤷♀️
The Medjool dates are sooooo much better than the Deglet Noir. There's a vast texture difference.
Totally agree!
My favorite!
Yes! Sooo good!
Oh! I wasn’t aware. Maybe that’s why I don’t really care too much for dates. I haven’t had the right ones. 😊
@@pinkLeopard580 go to a Persian grocery store. They'll have dates that have the texture of pudding
I made this with medjool dates, peanuts, peanut butter, chocolate and LOTS of salt and it did taste like a snickers to me! I think it was the addition of the salt that did it, I haven’t looked at the nutrition label on a Snickers but I would assume there would be a surprising amount of salt in them (as with most highly processed foods).
Coconut oil is better than shortening, or other oil. Coconut oil will harden when it cools down. Its used to make the magic shell ice cream topping.
Thank you!
Oh, cool! Good to know.
I wonder if you could add a small amount of coconut oil to natural peanut butter, which I prefer to jif and Skippy, so that the peanut butter layer is more stable.
You're all welcome. I found that out a few years ago, when someone posted how to make magic shell at home, for any flavors. I don't know if it'll stabilize peanut butter though. Haven't tried it since I'm allergic. Let us know if it does though! I'm curious.
If you use too much coconut oil it NOT harden. For this, be sure to get coconut oil that is solid at room temperature - not all of them are.
As a young teenager I attended the Indio California Date Festival with my parents and sister. It was a really fun festival and I really enjoyed eating all of the date versions of foods they served there, I remember there were some weird items. I had a date milkshake there so I do know how yummy those are. When we lived in Southern California my mom ate so many dates, believing they were more healthy than candy, that she put on weight rapidly and had to join this women's dieting group called TOPS, Take Off Pounds Sensibly to shed the pounds. She got to her goal weight and got a trophy and her picture in a newsletter. Lol Mom is 91 years old now and never buys dates. Lol
It amazes me how she takes her time to analyze the finished product and get a few close up shots of the food! When that piece fell, I thought she should just devour it! But she resisted and kept going! 😅
I was surprised at how much I loved these when I made them! I use almonds and almond butter and dark chocolate! So yummy during that time of the month!
I literally just bought a huge box of medjool dates to make energy balls (nuts dates and cocoa - they taste like brownies!) and it looks like I’m going to have to make these as well!
My favorite sweet snack is a medjool date stuffed with nut butter and cacao nibs. Excited to try this!
Your snack is pretty much the same thing! I filled my dates w Cinnamon Toast Crunch spread (nougat sub), 2-3 peanuts, cooled in fridge & dipped each stuffed date into melted chocolate. I found this more satisfying than a Snickers! 😊
I haven't seen the bark version. But I made a similar recipe last Christmas. I cut the dates in half and filled them with peanut butter then chilled them before covering in chocolate. They were a hit, but very time consuming to make. edit: and then you mention the type I made, lol. Clearly I commented too early. 😂
I like this. I just finisse they dates I had but next time I get some I'll try your recipe.
This reminded me that we had prunes filled with peanut butter and rolled in sugar. Really good.
I make a similar turtle, but I stuff with half a roasted and salted pecan and cover in melted chocolate. It’s also not an exact snickers replacement, but just as satisfying when you are just craving a little something salty sweet.
@@mkenyon1978 that sounds delicious. The peanut butter was pretty messy maybe next Christmas I'll try a pecan instead
@@mkenyon1978 Interesting! I make turtles with 4 pecan halves in an "X" pattern, then put a spoonful of melted caramel (or homemade, depending on what is on hand at the time). The caramel goes in the center to hold all the pecan halves together. Then either dunk in melted chocolate or drizzle thickly until the "legs" are covered, and let them set up until the chocolate hardens. Delicious!! They look and taste just like the Turtles candies.
My favorite chocolate as a kid was Hershey’s Special Dark. I’ve always had weird tastebuds.
That is strange for a child lol! I love dark chocolate with freeze dried raspberries.
My kids LOVE dark chocolate! They might be weirdos, but they have good taste!! 💜🍫
i’m still waiting for my tastebuds to mature
Oh Same here, I still love it so much ❤
@@umami6462 Took mine 50 years but it did happen!
Lovely! Will try as a teacher treat this week! I've never seen such beautiful dates as you presented! Thank you.
To me, dates taste more like brown sugar or molasses rather than caramel (And is occasionally used as a vegan replacement in terms of syrup), but I'd imagine it wouldn't be identical... but I'm happy to hear it turned out good. Honestly I'd be surprised if it tasted bad. Will have to try next time I buy dates.
Love your content, so glad I found you! I make a date shake with milk of choice (I use almond) frozen banana, medjool dates that I have cut up and soaked in water, vanilla extract , and ice. This recipe comes from little booklet from Shields Date Farm. P.s. snickers is my second favorite candy bar…I will take a plain milk chocolate Hershey’s bar over anything else!
Now I’d love to see Emmy’s opinion of the berries in yogurt, frozen then coated in melted chocolate!🤷♀️👍🏻
Agree🎉
Oh Medjool dates! I buy only them about once a year. They are so delicious - I always eat too many at a sitting. I want to try this with the dates, pecans, maybe almond butter and chocolate. Sounds like heaven to me.
Have you tried making sticky toffee pudding with them? There's also a coffee date cake that I make with them which I absolutely love!
Date and walnut loaf is also great
I’ve made this and it is abso delicious!! Even the date “un-lovers” polished it off!
These are one of my favorite snacks! I will say I get why you pulled back the peanut butter but when I make then I add about double the peanut butter you did. I keep them cold in the fridge and that cold thick layer of peanut butter with the date makes a more similar experience to the nougat that is so hard to recreate without extra sugar.
I can't help but think it would just taste like trail mix.. raisins, peanuts, and chocolate chips!
For the past month I've been making this (no nuts, not a fan) with almond and cashew butter all the time and I loved it. Sadly, I had to stop buying dates...because with or without the nutbutter and chocolate I could eat dates all day long! 😢
You're the best!
Thank you for your wonderful videos 😊
Made these and they were so delicious Emmy! I'll take these over Snickers anyday! Thank you for being a stress-buster and comfort-provider with your soothing and creative recipe videos
Your videos are very comforting to watch.
Thanks for trying this out. Im a fan of both dates and Snickers, so this should be delicious!
This is the earliest I've every been to one of your videos 😂 It happened to be exactly what I needed right now too 🥰
Me too!
I’m going to try it after I blend the dates a bit. I wanna try it with a smoother texture!
Wish I could try it!
By the way, If you’re ever in the mood for a date smoothie, Tropical Smoothie Cafe (chain restaurant) has a delicious one!
I love your channel Emmy!!!
I made them with the deglet noir dates and they were good, but Medjool would be the best. And the dates need to be fresh and soft. I LOVED the result and will definitely make this again. Thanks for making this Emmy!
I used organic natural peanut butter w/o any additives and it was perfect! I recommend trying it. You will not notice the difference, but you will have a higher quality, healthier treat. I also used raw almonds, raw pecans, and roasted, salted cashews, all chopped up together, some unsweetened shredded organic coconut, and dark chocolate. This is my new favorite treat, and it is almost completely healthy!
oh a date shake sounds so good. I used to work at a library and someone brought in some dates to give to us because they weren't going to eat them as they were traveling back to their family's home, that was the first time I had one and none of my coworkers ate any because they were unfamiliar/afraid?? for some reason. they taste so good, v soft and caramel-y. I'm still at the beginning, I bet this recipe will taste kind of snickers-y. I love the snickers ice cream bars, I bet dates would go good in ice cream.
Just tried this flavour combination in porridge and it was lovely. Used medjool dates, smooth peanut butter, a little salt and dark chocolate with rolled oats and oat milk. So good!
Made this. More labor intensive than it seems, but worth it. Doesn't taste like a Snickers, it's 100 times better. Snickers wishes they were this good. Yum yum yum!
Using almond butter and almonds make even better...in my opinion anyways. I used various nut butters with the corresponding nut and all are delicious but I'm partial to the almond. Also try topping it with salt flake salt....so delicious
EMMY! I just made this date bark snickerish & it is wonderful! Easy to make, so tasty! I'll do this again! ❤ Thank you for your video!
I just bought some dates a few days ago with no particular plans of how to use them. You just gave me my plans. Even though I also picked up some salted, dry-roast peanuts, too, I will likely just use my usual crunchy peanut butter, and add a bit more salt. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
Dates are sweet but blood sugar friendly. You can split dates, fill hollow with peanut butter, put together again and drizzle with dark chocolate (high cocoa content) for a RARE blood sugar friendly treat (in moderation).
She mentioned this item in the video
You always make my day and I love you!!
I’m grooving on your longer hair Emmy!! ❤
I've never been able to like a date, people always say how nice they are, but, I can't stand them, also doesn't help that the most common ones look like something extracted from a cat litter tray....... :S
I love the look of this, I’m gonna give it a go! 😋😋😋
If you want a shiney chocolate finish, melt half in the microwave, then when its melted and hot, stir in the rest of the chips. Stir vigorosly to melt the remaining chocolate. This tempers the chocolate making it shiney with a snap as it breaks.
We love Emmy!
Try figs dipped in chocolate. Not those weird pale dried ones, though. I use dark, soft dried figs, "Figlets" they were called. They came in a box, now a bag, I think. They had more moisture so they were softer. They were SO good!
Emmy you are so adorable!💚💚💚
The coconut in the chocolate chips make such a big difference with the way it sets even. Gives more of a shine and a snap in my opinion
Oh Emmy, I know that’s delicious. You are such a cool cook!
Reminds me of a Larabar. I LOVE them.
They have a chocolate peanut caramel truffle bar yum 😋😋😋😋
I craved peanut butter on a big fluffy pancake with really buttery crispy edges and honey on top when I was pregnant with my youngest 😂
I love your channel, Emmy! You are such a great cook, presenter, and educator! You are also very calming.
I’ve made these, and they are great! Only difference is that I coat the bottom, and cut them before refrigerating. I thought you said milk chocolate😬? On my screen, this looks like a lighter dark choc. There isn’t a thing wrong with dark chocolate, either. It’s just a bit less like a Snicker’s, to me.
BTW: these taste better on day 2 or 3, if any are left!
Great presentation, as usual!!!💜🩷
Dates and peanut butter are two of my very favorite foods, so I might need to try making this. I make an assortment of date bars and cookies each year for the holidays, so maybe I’ll add this to my repertoire. I bet variations with different-flavored chips or candy melts could be very tasty. Perhaps butterscotch chips or even peanut butter chips would work. This one does seem infinitely variable.
Oh Emmy, I waited for you to come back after the goodbyes. One of my favorite parts. Rumor has it that I am still out there waiting!
For me i would diced and press the dates into mushier texture. Then bottom layer will be the thin chocolate, then a layer of mushed digestive biscuit, then the soft dates mush, then smaller peanut bits, then the chocolates on top.
@EmmyMade, The one thing that makes our shared U.S. culture "better," in one way, than any other on Earth, is that we get to share in the world's food culture, creating things that would blow our Ancestors' minds, and enjoy it all, together. No matter how we all got here, we are here, together, and are able to enjoy the differences that prove Diversity is our Strength. #IDIC I am SO glad you are here! Domo arigato gozaimasu . (My parents lived 2 years in Japan, gifting me with a deep appreciation for the culture.)
I'm living in Saudi Arabia where i can get date paste if every kind. Im going to try this using date paste and good quality milk chocolate, since I've never heard of snickers with dark chocolate ❤❤
Watching this while eating a date square, not sure how common they are outside Canada but it’s quite delicious
With figs in season if you have a tree you can probably dry some figs and use them instead of dates for a fancy version. Then use walnuts and no peanut butter. Maybe some chocolate spread instead, like nutella. You can even make individual portions by decorating dry flattened figs individually with the toppings. Would likely be easier to handle and quite pretty for this season and even a bit Christmas-sey.
Please send me fresh figs!!! LOL haven't had any since my grandmother passed years ago. She had the best fig tree.
awww I don't. If we were in California there are fresh mission figs at the markets during the season. I prefer the smaller LSU figs that grow in Louisiana!! Thanks for sharing that with me. Very kind.@@kaylafon9718
You wouldn't happen to have a Minnesota State Fair video that you did this year? The one from 4 or so years ago was so fun to watch, I really hope you have another one. btw all of your videos are fun to watch!
This gives nice options for people that cannot eat Snickers because of allergies or health problems. Nice video. Thanks
Emmy, do you think you recreate the date shake you talked about? That sounds amazing!
Re: filled dates, some other wonderful fillings are whole almonds or other nuts you like, or marzipan. Chocolate dipped or not, they're great at the holidays.
Chocolate bark became really popular in the late 90's. Though the origins are now lost somewhere in the annals of history it actually came to the U.S. in the 60's.
My mom used to make it a Italian anise cookies with a date inside. They were good!
Ive stuffed dates with pb and dipped them in chocolate, but this looks much easier to do more at a time and I be the peanuts add a nice crunch.
I love everything in that. Would prefer that to a snickers bar any day.
I didn't have my first "date" until I was old & waaaay beyond High School... 😋(HaHaHa) Seriously, I love adding dates to my morning oatmeal, chopped up in salads, & occasionally even in brownies & cookies, like peanut butter oatmeal cookies...YUM 🥰
I love old fashioned Date Bars.. I'm not a big fan of dates but I love those.. my grandma used to make those all the time
My mother used to make dates stuffed with cream cheese and chopped pecans around Christmas time. Very yummy. I remember helping her pit and stuff them.
Another variation of this that I’ve made is this. Put nut butter of choice INSIDE the date, along with a half of a pecan. Then close the date and coat the whole thing in chocolate. Very good!
I prefer the individual date, fill with your choice of nut butter, nut of your choice and dip in chocolate or put a few chips in there. Definitely tastes like a snickers. I make these for cookie trays during the holiday.
I might have to make this
For anyone that wants to try this, a tip I learned a while back about peanut butter is, don't get the really cheap stuff that says peanut spread. It won't melt in the microwave. It'll burn and get a weird consistency.
OoOoOoOoOo!!!! I've been wanting to try this one!!! 🍫
You should try Kolaczki(polish date filled cookies), maamoul(middeleastern date filled cookies) or old fashion raisin filled cookies!
I madek maamoul in this video: ua-cam.com/video/vAJrDHqjPp8/v-deo.html.
I used Cinnamon Toast Crunch spread as nougat & used real peanuts. For a twist, you could use Biscoff spread or for a neutral spread use almond butter. They were EXCELLENT & yes, tasted much like Snickers! 😊
I didn’t know u could get Cinnamon Toast Crunch spread… 😋
@@jules3048Me either! Going to Amazon Canada right now to see if I can buy some 😂
@@jules3048
It’s...... freaking........AMAZING!
@@jules3048, May be limited. Being sold at Dollar Tree. But maybe Amazon. That's where I got mine. 😉
Watching her drizzle the chocolate on the confection made my mouth water even though I'd just eaten.
I guess we can look forward to seeing these at the date festival (a.k.a. Riverside County Fair) next March!
Love Emmy time ⏲️ 🥰
i think i’m going to try this but maybe also add a thin layer of chocolate to the bottom before the dates😋
Dates stuffed with almonds is my favorite “energy” snack.
I am going to have to try this
I hope you get very big checks from Stearns and Foster. All I ever get is the exact same mattress as from them every time I watch one of your videos.
It’s so funny, I was the same way when I was younger and I didn’t start eating chocolate until I was like 13. My daughter is the exact same way!! Haha
Stuff dates with peanut butter and roll in sugar. It’s delicious. I’d put those dates in a bender first and yes, a little coconut oil in the chocolate would help set it as well.
It helps to not flatten it. leave the dates as round as possible. just fill it with nuts and peanut butter and dip it in chocolate. it’s that thick chew you’re looking for !
Emmy, most people would likely suggest that your peanut butter craving was for the fats and proteins. That is possible, however I find it fascinating that peanut butter is really high in B6 and Vitamin E. Thank you for making this recipe, I was curious about it.
Snickers has come out with butterscotch scoop flavor now in the US too, so you could throw that in this too.
just seen the intro and this has to be good. Already wondering, would a bit of salt flakes on top make it better or not? 😅
Omg. It does.
I saw someone make the “healthier” snickers ice cream bar on TikTok. I’d love to see you attempt that!!
I have a pregnant craving for it but my daughter has a peanut allergy so I wanna try it with almonds.
I love your video's ❤❤❤❤
Seeing the layer of peanut butter reminds of th3 commercial with the sharks for snickers peanut butter squared
with candy bars costing up to 2 bucks a peace now.. this is a much better method
My Mom used to stuff dates with pecans and roll them in icing sugar for Christmas.😋
I love medjool dates! Organic are best!
im no fan of dates but maybe i would like those also would like to make them for my family i like any kind of baking no fan of cakes and such but i love to making them and is a very very few kinds of cake and confections i like but i always loved to make em
I like to melt some pb and chocolate chips together and then just dip a few dates in and eat immediately! Works good for a craving, and you dont have to wait for it to cool😅
Thanks for sharing
