Samoas Date Bark is a no-bake treat made with medjool dates, creamy cashew butter, toasted coconut, and dark chocolate. It’s a healthier, vegan twist on the classic Samoas Girl Scout cookie!
Place shredded coconut in a pan over medium heat. Stir continuously for 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
If your dates still have the pits, remove the pits. Arrange the pitted medjool dates smooshed down on a parchment-lined baking sheet forming a rectangle shape.
Spread the cashew butter on top of the dates, then sprinkle with half of the toasted coconut. Drizzle over the melted chocolate, then sprinkle with the rest of the toasted coconut.
Place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate sets and the bark is firm. Once set, break the bark into pieces and enjoy!
If your medjool dates are hard and dry, add them to a bowl with hot water and soak them for 5-10 minutes, until soft and juicy. Then drain and pat dry.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container, in the fridge, for up to one week, or in the freezer for longer.
