Almond Joy // Mounds Date Bark

Y’all know I LOVE dates so I had to make my own version of the viral date bark!! One of my fav combos (besides dates dipped in tahini 😋) is dates stuffed with coconut butter so I went with an almond joy/mounds like filling and damn it did not disappoint!


  • 16 dates (pitted)

  • 1/3th cup coconut butter (artisana)

  • 1/3th cup shredded coconut

  • 1/2 tsp vanilla

  • 1/4th cup slivered or chopped almonds (optional)

  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (hu kitchen)

  • 1 tsp coconut oil

  • Flakey sea salt


First line a sheet tray (that will fit in the freezer) with parchment paper. Then gently split open your dates and lay them flat on the tray. Slightly overlap them and press down so they stick together more easily. I did four rows of four dates.


Then make your coconut butter filling. Melt your coconut butter then add in the shredded coconut and vanilla extract. Mixture together and then add in an even layer on top of your dates. Next sprinkle over top your almonds (omit if doing a mounds version or nut free). Melt the chocolate chips with a little bit of coconut oil and drizzle over the bark! Top with some flakey sea salt and place in the freezer to set for 30 minutes to an hour! ENJOY! I like to keep these in the freezer!
