S’mores Date Bark – A Fun No-Bake Treat!
If you’ve been around here for a while, you know I love creating new s’mores-inspired treats. Whether it’s s’mores cookies, s’mores clusters, or s’mores Rice Krispie treats, there’s just something about that gooey chocolate-graham-marshmallow combo that gets me every time. It’s nostalgic, fun, and pretty much impossible to resist.
Lately, dates are everywhere! They’re popping up everywhere in snacks, desserts, shakes, and even going viral on social media (hello, date bark!). I’ve tried the original chocolate peanut butter date bark, and while it’s absolutely delicious, you know I couldn’t help but give it a little s’mores spin.
S’mores Date Bark is no-bake and super simple to throw together, but with all the campfire flavor you know and love. Think soft, caramel-y dates, creamy peanut butter, melty chocolate, crunchy graham crackers, mini marshmallows, and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt to tie it all together. It’s sweet, salty, chewy, crunchy, basically everything you want in a bite.
This is the kind of treat that feels indulgent, but it’s secretly better-for-you and comes together in about 10 minutes (plus chilling time).
So whether you’re a long-time date bark fan or just need a new way to get your s’mores fix, you have to try this version. I like to keep it in the fridge or freezer, so I always have a sweet treat ready. Trust me, it’s a keeper!
Ingredients (with Helpful Notes)
- Medjool dates: Go for soft, fresh dates. If yours are dry or firm, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes to soften. If they are pitted, make sure you remove the pit first!
- Peanut butter: Use natural, drippy peanut butter for easy spreading and that perfect creamy texture. I love Costco’s organic peanut butter.
- Chocolate chips: Semi-sweet, milk, or dark chocolate both work well here. Choose your favorite! I always go with semi-sweet!
- Coconut oil: Just a touch helps the chocolate melt smoothly and gives it a nice glossy finish.
- Graham crackers: Crushed into bite-sized pieces; you want texture without turning it into crumbs.
- Mini marshmallows: Feel free to toast them slightly with a kitchen torch for extra s’mores vibes!
- Flaky sea salt: Don’t skip this—it balances the sweetness and makes the flavors pop.
Tips for Making S’mores Date Bark
- Layer smart: Slightly overlap your dates when pressing them down so they stick together better, don’t worry if there are small gaps.
- Use parchment paper: It makes flattening the dates and removing the bark super easy.
- Microwave in intervals: Melt the chocolate and coconut oil in short bursts and stir each time to avoid scorching.
- Spread evenly: Use an offset spatula to get smooth layers of peanut butter and chocolate.
- Chill completely: Make sure the bark is fully set in the freezer for at least 30 minutes before breaking into pieces. This helps the layers stay intact and gives you clean, crisp snaps.
- Customize: Add crushed pretzels, shredded coconut, or even a drizzle of white chocolate if you’re feeling extra creative.
