Q1. Can I freeze Date Snickers bars?

Absolutely! These freeze beautifully for up to 3 months. Just lay them in a single layer on parchment first so they don't stick together—then pop them in a freezer bag. Thaw at room temperature for a few minutes before enjoying that perfect chocolate snap.

Q2. Are Medjool dates necessary, or can I use another kind?

Medjools are my top choice because they're naturally sweeter and softer, but regular dates work too—just soak them in warm water for 10 minutes if they seem dry. Avoid the super tiny, hard varieties though; you want that caramel-like texture!

Q3. My chocolate coating cracks—what am I doing wrong?

This usually happens if the dates are too cold when dipped. Let your peanut-filled dates sit out for 5 minutes after refrigeration before coating. Also, adding that teaspoon of coconut oil to the chocolate helps it stay flexible.

Q4. Can I make these nut-free?

Of course! Swap the peanut butter for sunflower seed butter and skip the peanuts—the dates and chocolate alone still make an amazing treat. My niece loves them with tahini for a slightly savory twist!
