Chili Lime Date Bark

Date Bark Candy on a table

 

This Chili Lime Date Bark is a zippy version of Date Bark. The spicy candied ginger and chili flakes deliver the zip. Then, a lime zest finish refreshes with a surprising twist of taste.

Ingredients

24 Medjool dates, beautified and pit removed

1 cup smooth fresh cashew butter

¼ cup diced candied ginger

1½ cups white chocolate wafers or chips

2 teaspoons chili flakes – divided 

Zest of 1 lime – divided

Instructions

1. Line a 7×11-inch glass baking dish with plastic wrap.

2. Press the butterflied dates into the pan in rows of 4 across to fil the pan and make sure there are no gaps between the dates.

3. Spread the cashew butter evenly over the dates and sprinkle this with the candied ginger.

4. Melt the chocolate in a bowl in the microwave on 50 percent power a minute at a time, stirring between each minute until uniformly melted (about 2 minutes). 

5. Stir 1½ teaspoons of the chili flakes and all but ½ teaspoon of the lime zest into the melted chocolate and then pour this mixture of the date and cashew mixture. 

6. Sprinkle the top with the remaining chili flakes and lime zest and refrigerate for at least 45 minutes before using the plastic wrap to lift it from the pan. 

7. Cut into squares and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
