Brownies are easily one of my favorite desserts, especially brownies with a delicious frosting on top. If you love peanut butter and chocolate, then you will absolutely love this recipe. I have a similar recipe on my blog already, but this recipe includes a delectable peanut butter frosting. These date bars are gooey, fudgy, and incredibly sweet.

Ingredients

Medjool Dates: The first ingredient you need for these no-bake peanut butter chocolate date bars are dates. For this brownie recipe, I used dates to sweeten them. Dates are known as nature’s candy, and if you’ve ever tried a date, then you know how sweet they are. This recipe calls for 14 pitted dates.
Cocoa Powder: The next ingredient you need for this recipe is cocoa powder. I used Hershey’s Unsweetened Cocoa Powder. Cocoa powder makes the date bars extra chocolatey. This recipe calls for 1/3 cup of cocoa powder.
Chia Seeds: The next ingredient you need is chia seeds. Chia seeds are nutritious and I love adding them to my recipes.
Peanut Butter: The next ingredient you need for this recipe is peanut butter. I used creamy peanut butter, but feel free to use crunchy peanut butter instead. You need 3 tbsp of peanut butter for the frosting.
Chocolate Chips: The last ingredient you need for this recipe is vegan chocolate chips to make the peanut butter chocolate frosting. Some of my favorite vegan chocolate chips are Lilly’s mini chocolate chips and Enjoy Life mini chocolate chips. This recipe calls for 2 tbsp of vegan chocolate chips.
