Ingredients
- 1 cup of Medjool dates (or sub raisins)
- ¼ cup of creamy or chunky peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons of plant-based milk
- 2 matzo crackers
- 1 cup of vegan semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Pinch of course salt (optional)
Instructions
- Soak the pitted dates for 30 minutes in piping-hot water.
- Drain the water and add the dates, peanut butter (if using), and plant-based milk into a food processor and blend until smooth.
- Spread the puréed date blend onto matzo crackers.
- Melt dairy-free chocolate in a double boiler or microwave and spread it over the puréed date blend on the matzo crackers. Optionally, sprinkle on course salt.
- Allow the dairy-free chocolate to cool completely (you can even put it in the freezer for a few minutes), and then break up the matzo crackers into large uneven pieces.
Notes
- Use good-quality ingredients: For the best flavors, use high-quality Medjool dates, peanut butter, matza crackers, and vegan chocolate.
- To break the bark: Use a knife for even-sized pieces or break it roughly into large shards.
- Check labels: If you’re keeping kosher, make sure to check the labels of your chosen ingredients to ensure they bear an OU symbol.
