Preparation
- Split each pitted date in half lengthwise, then spread the halves open to flatten. Arrange the dates on a parchment-lined cutting board or platter in a square shape, insides facing up, making sure the halves are touching or slightly overlapping. Cover the dates with another sheet of parchment paper and use a rolling pin to roll over the dates with medium pressure a few times to flatten further. Carefully peel off the top layer of parchment and discard.
- Spread the peanut butter evenly over the flattened date square.
- Add the dark chocolate and coconut oil to a medium, microwave-safe bowl. Melt in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until smooth. Let the melted chocolate cool for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it begins to thicken and is less runny and more spreadable.
- Spread the chocolate carefully over the peanut butter layer, then sprinkle with the flaky sea salt. Arrange the pecan halves on top of the chocolate in a single layer.
- Place the date bark in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, until the chocolate has completely hardened.
- Slice or break the bark apart into 12 pieces. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
- Enjoy!
