How long do Date Snickers last?

Date Snickers last up to one month in the fridge when stored in an airtight container. For longer storage, keep them in the freezer for up to six months. They taste just as good chilled, and the freezer version offers a chewier, almost ice-cream-like bite.

What makes Snickers unique?

Classic Snickers bars are known for their layered textures: nougat, caramel, peanuts, and chocolate. Date Snickers replicate that same combination but use natural ingredients like Medjool dates and peanut butter to achieve a similar taste with fewer processed ingredients.

How many calories are in a Snickers date?

A homemade Date Snickers has about 173 calories per piece. This is lower than a store-bought Snickers bar, which typically has over 250 calories, plus added sugars and preservatives. With Date Snickers, most of the sweetness comes naturally from the fruit.

Do you put Date Snickers in the fridge or freezer?

Both work well, and it depends on your preference. The fridge gives you a softer bite with a crisp chocolate shell, while the freezer offers a chewier, candy-bar-like experience. Many people enjoy keeping a batch in both places to suit their mood.
