Line large baking sheet with parchment paper and place wire rack on top. Set aside.
Place the Medjool dates on a cutting board. Using a paring knife, slice down the middle but not all the way through and remove the pit.
Stuff each date with about 1 teaspoon of peanut butter.
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate and melt in a microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring in-between.
Using a fork, dip each stuffed date into a bowl with melted chocolate, coat completely, remove and place on a previously prepared wire rack. Repeat with remaining dates.
Let the date snickers sit on a wire rack for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a fridge for another 5 minutes to let chocolate set a bit to avoid sea salt melting.
Remove dates from a wire rack and place directly on the same baking sheet. Sprinkle with sea salt flakes and chopped peanuts.
Refrigerate for 1 hour or until the chocolate is nicely set. Enjoy!

Store: Refrigerate snickers in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
Freeze: Freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw for 5 minutes before enjoying or less for a cold, chewy treat.
I used 70% cocoa chocolate. If you are using 75% and above, make sure to add 1-2 teaspoons of the coconut oil into the chocolate.
Choose the dates with pits, instead of those without. The dates with pits have better texture, are less chewy, and have better flavor in general.
