This homemade Take 5 bar has a healthier twist that’s every bit as satisfying as the original. It’s sweet, salty, crunchy, and covered in dark chocolate—a perfect treat for when you want something indulgent but a little better for you! 😉
The recipe:
Slice each date in half lengthwise and remove the pit. Spread about 1/2 tablespoon of almond butter onto one half of each date. Top the almond butter with a generous pinch of crushed pretzels.
Place the other half of the date on top to create a sandwich. Don’t worry if it’s a little messy— the nut butter acts as a “glue” to hold it together!
Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Place a heat-safe glass bowl over the pot to create a double boiler. Add the dark chocolate bar (broken into pieces) to the bowl and stir until melted and smooth.
Dip each date sandwich into the melted chocolate, coating it completely.
Place them on a parchment-lined tray or plate. Transfer to the freezer for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate is fully set.
Sprinkle with sea salt before serving. Enjoy!! xx
