Notes

Makes eight pieces of candy. A serving is two pieces.
Quality Dates: Use fresh, soft dates like Medjool for the best texture and sweetness.
Melting Chocolate: Double boil or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently to avoid burning the chocolate.
Chill to Set: After assembling, chill the Date Snickers in the fridge to set the chocolate quickly and keep the fillings firm.
Store in an airtight container for up to a week in the fridge, or for a month in the freezer.
