White Chocolate Peppermint Date Bark

Whether you’re hosting a party, bringing a treat to the office, or whipping up something special for the kids, this sweet and satisfying dessert will be a hit with everyone. The secret ingredient? Dates—nature’s candy! Not only do they add natural sweetness, but they’re also packed with fiber to support digestion, antioxidants to fight inflammation, and essential minerals like potassium for energy and hydration. 

Ingredients

1 bag of Lily’s No-Sugar Added white chocolate chips, melted
10-15 large Medjool dates, pitted
5-6 crushed up candy canes (the Yum Earth brand has a great organic option!)

Directions

1. Melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler or the microwave.
2. Remove the pits from your dates, and add them to a bowl of hot water to soften them up a little bit.
3. Drain the dates, split them open, and lay them flat in a square pan lined with parchment paper.
4. Using your hands, mold the dates together to form a base.
5. Pour the melted chocolate over the top of the dates, sprinkle the crushed candy canes on top, and pop the bark into the freezer!
6. Freeze overnight, cut into squares, and enjoy.
