Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream Stuffed Dates

Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream Stuffed Dates is a delicious, six-ingredient ice cream treat that is easy AND healthy! This recipe calls for chewy, sweet, and soft caramel-like Medjool dates, split, and then stuffed with your favourite vanilla ice cream, creamy peanut butter, and roasted peanuts. Each date is dipped in chocolate, then frozen, and finished with a dusting of flaky sea salt. They taste magically just like a Snickers bar with vanilla ice cream in the middle.
